"For Whom the Bells Tolls ?“
Moto from second page :
"Therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for you“
Source :
(Meditation #17 By John Donne From Devotions upon Emergent Occasions (1623), XVII

Perchance (2) he may thinks himself so much better than he is, as that they who are about he, and see his state, may have caused it to toll for him, and he knows not that.
