| 1 | 16-17世紀のイギリスの詩人ジョン・ダン（John Donne (1572-1631) ）の"Devotions
upon Emergent Occasions" (1623), XVII です。 "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 bells tolls; it tolls for thee."（抜粋） |
