EIIR cypher Elizabeth II Regina
The greatest empire since Rome. 
It was the poet John Donne, pronounced the same as my own, born into a recusant family and later a cleric in the Church of England, who originated the famous phrase, “If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

I think, Ernest Hemingway made this poem by Donne more popular because of the title of his novel about the Spanish Civil War "For Whom The Bell Tolls". The German author Johannes Mario Simmel also drew inspiration from this poem, as he used its first verse also as the title of one of his books: "Niemand ist eine Insel" (Nobody is an island)...
