Nessun uomo è un'isola,
intero in se stesso.
intero in se stesso.
Ogni
uomo è un pezzo del continente,
una parte della Terra.
Se una
zolla viene portata via dall'onda del mare,
l'Europa ne è
diminuita,
come se un promontorio fosse stato al suo posto,
o
una magione amica o la tua stessa casa.
Ogni morte d'uomo mi
diminusce,
perchè io faccio parte dell'umanità.
E così non
mandare mai a chiedere per chi suona la campana:
Essa suona per te
- John Donne -
No Man Is An Island
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.
