....the latest
for whom the babe croons
__________________________________________________________
Meditation C Upon Fairly Emergent Times by krm:
"for whom the babe croons"
__________________________________________________________
No one is an island integral, isolate;
Each birth replenishes all, for we are the same thought;
Therefore yearn not to stay the radiance's fell decline -
That sets for thee;
Muse not upon the glorious burst of wakening morn -
That dawns for thee;
And never seek to learn wherefore yon birthling croons -
That croons for thee.

from "Meditation XVII" of "Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions" by John Donne:
"No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe;... any mans death
diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde;
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
