No Man is an Island by John Donne - Poem Analysis

[@John-h6z9b]

Well Donne, I've always admired his writings, and you've brought me closer to understanding the man himself.

Thanks John and I appreciated the pun. Steve

Very clearly worded and thoroughly detailed analysis of this powerful poem. Thank you!

[@vmmadge]

Very good analysis of this eternal favourite of English Poetry lovers. May I suggest something? In the final like "It tolls for thee", one hears not only the admonitory tone of our priest but the stresses in the line fall the the tolls of the bell!!! A similar effect is achieved by Keats in his La Belle Dame sans merci "And no birds sing"!

Dear Steve, thanks for that nice analysis and thanks again for making me remember that good poem my instructor read us at university. Listening to your explanation made me so glad about the lines that I've become enthusiastic to translate it to my language. Keep going in this way my dear instructor and dear colleague 👏👏

For whom the bell tows. Bee Gees have a song titled that too!
