    No man is an island entire of itself
    Text
    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 friend's 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. / Poems on the Underground / 1,000 YEARS OF POETRY IN ENGLISH / Books and Posters are on sale at The London Transport Museum, Covent Garden 020 7379 6344 - Poster design by Tom Davidson
