"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume;
when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of hte bppk;
but translated into a better language;
and every chapter must be so translated...
As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon,
calls not upon the preacher only,
but upon the congregation to come:
so this bell calls us all...
No man is an island, entire of itself...
any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind;
and therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tools for thee."

-In the words of poet, preacher John Donne
(Meditations XVII)
