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 friends 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. 


-- John Donne

來自耳熟能詳的十七世紀英國詩人著名的這首: 無人是島嶼敲響多少人作為一個社會群體一份子的觸感。這首詩的第一句應該是大部分人所知道的,然而我想更為傳神的卻是在最後一句 : And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee。是吧?!不必在乎是呼喚的是誰,是你自己。
