Question

According to the poem of John Donne, that inspired the title of a famous book, for whom do the bells toll?

Answer 1

"and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee"

From "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions"

Some argue that Donne is saying that mankind is interconnected, when one dies, we all lose a piece of ourselves. So when you hear the funeral bell tolling, it's not tolling just for the deceased but for the part of "you" that has been lost

Answer 2

John Donne also wrote "No man is an island, entire unto himself..."  His thinking was consistent.  He believed that we are all part of each other.

Answer 3

Answer 4

From "Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions" (1623) by John Donne:
