Maryann McLaughlin, an alumna and good friend, sent this long-famous poem\u00a0(1624) to accompany her observation about the world\u2019s present condition. \u00a0She wrote yesterday: “someone said something today about how we can’t be all about just America right now, and this came into my mind.\u00a0 No man is an island. \u00a0So i looked it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best to read the poem out loud, several times, with pauses. \u00a0 Have a blest day.<\/p>\n

No man is an\u00a0Iland<\/em>, intire of it selfe;

\nif a\u00a0Clod<\/em>\u00a0bee washed away by the\u00a0Sea<\/em>,\u00a0Europe<\/em>\u00a0is the lesse,
\nas well as if a\u00a0Promontorie<\/em>\u00a0were,
\nas well as if a\u00a0Mannor<\/em>\u00a0of thy\u00a0friends<\/em>\u00a0or of\u00a0thine<\/em>\u00a0owne\u00a0<\/em>were;<\/p>\n

And therefore<\/p>\n

never send to know for whom the\u00a0bell<\/em>\u00a0tolls;
\nIt tolls for\u00a0thee<\/em>.<\/p>\n
