I think that Ernest Hemmingway wrote a novel with a title something like the title of the poem below. (But the version below is more modern version.)
For Whom the Bell does not Toll - a poem (Every person is an island) - Modern Version Every person is an island, Entire of their self. Each is a separate part of the continent, Distinct from the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, The world is none the less. Different than if a promontory were. Not the same as if a manor of thine own Or of thine close friend's were. No other person's death diminishes me, For I am not involved in humanity. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It does not toll for thee.
