No Man is an Island from Devotion upon Emergent Accasions by John Donne

No man is an island 
John Donn

No man is an island,
entire of itself; 
every man is a piece of the 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 bell tolls; 
it tolls for thee.
