To: Lazamataz; Johnny Gage
All humanity is of one Author, and is one volume; when one dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God’s hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.
-- JOHN DONNE (1572–1631)

From Donne (approximate:) "Every man is a piece of the Main, a Part of the Clod,
And thus do not ask for Whom the Bell Tolls,
It Tolls for Thee."
