Original text and translations

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.

John Donne - Meditation 17 from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions 1624.
