Covid 19 took my father from me, ever since this poem has been in my mind. He and I argued over it oncem I vehemently insisted that the line ' no man is an island' was originally Sarte and he said no it was John donne. He, of course, was right. I miss him so much.

We are all interconnected so when you die a piece of me dies. I like the poem dont agree with its premise cause there are people i wish would drop dead

A wonderful poem with a deep insight into human life and the unity and togetherness both in life and death.
To my Favourites and Congrats for the Classic Poem Of The day! John Donne, my most favourite poet too.
4) not just THINKING about what you can do, but actually DO it! 5 Stars full for this 'cozy' analytical poem. I surely have enjoyed.
3) It may not be the first thing you automatically think or do. But the way we behave during the crisis determines what state we will be in.
2) We experience this directly during a pandemic.For instance: When I get sick, so do the people around me. But if you help the people around you, we also experience this directly.
1) I ain't an island either.I am a woman and has a home.....Man is not called the social species for anything and we are emphatically taught that in anthropology.
A well expressed poem with a great message to humanity.
'Any man's death diminishes me', beautiful line from a great poem.
The first 4 lines are highly philosophical. A quote with profound meaning
No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main.
A wonderful work of art.
