How Long Do Pigeons Sleep

warning to egocentric

"No man is an island, entire of itself
;
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the whole
.

If even a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less,
as well as if a promontory, as if it were missing

a home of your friends, or
your own home.
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
.

So never ask for whom the bell tolls:
tolls for thee. "

John Donne - Meditation XVII
