No Man Is An Island
No Man Is An Island
Poet | John? Donne
No one is an island,
Oneself as a whole;
Everyone is a part of this continent,
A major part;
No one is an island,
Living alone in the sea;
Everyone is like a small piece of dirt,
Connected to the whole land.
If a clod is washed away by the sea,
The less Europe there is,
If a cape,
And if your friends or your own estate:
If a piece of soil is washed away by the sea,
Europe will lose a corner,
It's like a headland,
Like a manor,
Whether it's yours or your friend's
Anyone who dies is my loss,
Because I am closely related to human beings,
Therefore,
Ask not for whom the bell tolls;
It rings for you.
No matter who dies,
Part of me is dying,
Because I am included in the concept of human beings.
Therefore,
Ask not for whom the bell tolls,
The death knell tolls for you.

About poets
John? Donne
( 1572- 163 1.3.3 1)
English poet and priest.
Him and George? Herbert and Andrew? Marvell belongs to the greatest metaphysical poet. His creation influenced not only his contemporaries, but also Eliot and John? Ransom, Allen? Allen tate and other poets in the 20th century. Like other metaphysical poets, Donne's poems also use metaphors (exquisite and amazing metaphors) to find images from daily life and extensive knowledge. Among metaphysical poets, he can perfectly combine strong emotion with originality and refinement in knowledge. His works include love poems, satires, aphorisms, religious poems and sermons. Poetry has a strong sense of rhythm, vivid language, strange and bold imagination, and often uses Shakespeare's humorous metaphors. These characteristics are very obvious in his poetry collections Song and Short Song. His famous sentence is-for whom the bell tolls/for whom the bell tolls? Nobody is an island, nobody is an island, and so on.

This is a poem I dug up in the memo. As for where it came from, I don't remember it clearly, but what is certain is that this poem was written by the poet himself, haha.
I think I collected this poem because it was too abstruse for me to read. I don't know much about it until now. ...
But I like its name-no one is an island.
I believe as a reader, you will understand.
Too many people feel lonely, lonely to the point of isolated island.
I believe what you said-loneliness, but I don't believe that people will be an island.
Do you know what an island is?
It doesn't matter whether you know it or not!
Let me share with you an isolated island in my cognition, which is extremely simple:
As the name implies, an island is an island with life, but no life, no life island. And people will never become such an island unless they degenerate to a certain extent! ?
People are often lonely, but they are by no means isolated. Because people are very advanced, people are living beings with souls. Even without the same kind of company, they will be lonely, and there will be other different kinds of company. Such as animals, flowers, books, ball games, and instinctive movements of life. ?
In that case, how can people be reduced to an island!
If you always feel lonely and think that the world can't meet your expectations, and you just can't accept loneliness and change the status quo, then I think you can go to school.
Read a book called Wolf in the Desert. After reading it, you will find that 50-year-old Hesse was as lonely as you more than 100 years ago, and you all adhered to the same standards. Hayes suffered for it, and so did you. When you have the voice of * * *, you will naturally feel that this connection has given you the touch and courage to travel through time and space!
You will understand that people are lonely and don't understand.
Through this book, you may accept your incompatibility with the world and be grateful for your uniqueness!
Jiang once said such a sentence-
? There are no unsociable people, only inappropriate groups!
I quite agree with this sentence, because it subverts the island theory and points out the maze for lonely people.
No one is an island, and no one will be lonely forever!
Loneliness only lasts for a while, not for a lifetime. When you look patiently, you will find a group of people like you, you will have your wonderful, you will have friends, and you will get rid of loneliness to a certain extent.
You see, the Jade Rabbit in Guanghan Palace is still accompanied by Chang 'e's sister, not to mention that you are a human being carefully created by the creator!
You should believe that loneliness is a gift, an experience and test in our life, and an unavoidable life lesson. ...
Live in the sea and get through loneliness, and you will be the most beautiful boy in the world!
