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.
No man stands alone,
Each life is connected,
Every loss is shared,
Across all humanity.
The bell rings for all,
Not just one soul,
But for every life touched,
By time and fate.
We are all one body,
Bound together,
Through life and death,
In one shared existence.
So never ask,
For whom the bell tolls,
For it tolls for thee,
And all mankind.
