John Donne - No man is an island.

I don't really like this poem;


"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 a manor of thy friends 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." 


For one reason: "No man is an island" - Some men are islands. Notable examples include Eric Pickles, Eamon Holmes and James Corden.
