No bank is an island...


No bank is an island entire of itself; every teller
is a fungible commodity, a part of the currency;
if the pound be washed away by the Euro, HSBC
is the less, as well as if a northern rock were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's money diminishes me,
because I am involved in the market.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the Brexit tolls; it tolls for the banker.
