What I'm Reading: John Donne and Zombies

"No man is an iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; 


if a clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; 


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. 


And, also, beware of zombies."


--John Donne, Meditation 17
Devotions upon Emergent Occasions
