"...and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

John Donne



In 1940, Ernest Hemingway wrote one of his best novels about the Spanish civil war: "For whom the bell tolls". Some years later the story was taken to the cinema. But there is no doubt that the american writer took the title of his book from that meditation of John Donne -who, by the way, was a priest-.*

*isn't it the holy circle that you are always talking about?
