For Whom the Bell Tolls | Originated in John Donne’s work | Meaning -

- Donne was simply pointing out peoples mortality & when a funeral bell is heard it is a reminder that we are nearer death each day, that is, the bell is tolling for us. We are all one, and that, when one dies, we all die a little. There is a part of the living in the dead & we continue to form life after death.
