No Man Is An Island

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ No Man Is An Island █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each 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 thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Written by John Donme
(Tunku Abdul Rahman's favourite poem)

Translation:

"Tiada manusia ibarat pulau terpencil,
Setiap seorang secebis dari benua,
Sebahagian dari keseluruhan."

"Kematian siapa pun memperkecilkan harga diriku,
kerana aku sebahagian daripada kemanusiaan,
dan kerana itu, janganlah bertanya untuk siapa loceng kematian berbunyi untukmu." ------ John Donme
