Thought for the Week 09/05/2009
In case you are struggling with a bout of indifference:
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 less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or 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, 1624
