UM POETA: JOHN DONNE (1572-1631)


Nenhum homem é uma ilha. Vale a pena ler a citação na íntegra e no maravilhoso inglês de John Donne (que também escreveu poemas eróticos, quem diria):

"
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."
