What is the origin of the phrase 'for whom the bell tolls' Not who wrote the book...What does 'for whom the bell tolls' mean?
Answer The phrase became popular after the famous John Donne poem used the lines "ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee". The church bell is tolled (rung with soft repeated strokes) at a funeral Answer "For Whom the Bell Tolls", The title of a book by Ernest Hemingway, published in 1940The following is found in a text by John Donne (1623):Now, this bell tolling softly for another, says to me: Thou must die." PERCHANCE he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that. so... what exactly is "ask not for whom the bell tolls" supposed to mean? i have a feeling its death/death-roll related- like at a hanging or something- but whats it mean
