I had been my whole life a bell, and never knew it until at that moment I was lifted and struck.

i am lonely, yet not alone; is that better than alone, yet not lonely?
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 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.
- John Donne (1572 - 1631), Meditation XVII
