"...most of the plants we think of as having always been a part of our environment are actually migrants from a more or less distant past. Plants that are now perceived as part of our cultural heritage are merely well-assimilated foreigners."
- Stefano Mancuso, L'incredibile viaggio delle piante (2018)
NO MAN IS AN ISLAND
No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
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.
John Donne (1624)
