"All mankind is
of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter
is not torn out of the book, 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: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by
this sickness....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 tolls for thee."
