OUR DELIVERIES MAY COME EVEN AFTER WE ARE GONE
My neighbor upstairs, James E. Burke, died last week.
Yesterday the UPS man left him a delivery note that stated:
"We're Sorry We Missed You. We Will Try Again Tomorrow."
Sadly, he won't be there!
Sadly, he won't be there!
"For Whom the Bell Tolls"
John Donne
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each 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 thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
