Transcript:
No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea... Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls... it tolls for thee. -John Donne

Have you ever read the entire XVII Meditation? He does tend to go on:
“If we understand aright the dignity of this bell that tolls for our evening prayer, we would be glad to make it ours by rising early, in that application, that it might be ours as well as his, whose indeed it is.”
