BrklynLiberal's Journal
Well said, and well felt. I agree with all you said. Any reminder of our mortality is bound to affect us
 :fistbump:       We should all remember John Donne's Meditation XVII "All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...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." see here for full meditation... http://www.online-literature.com/donne/409... |
