Good words for Ferguson, Staten Island, and Cleveland from John Donne, a 17th century metaphysical poet, Anglican priest, and lawyer. No matter how many ways we state this truth, in myriad languages and in every culture throughout recorded history, we cant seem to fully live it out. 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 friends Or thine own were: Any mans 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
