We are liege subjects of.. that empire of the spirit, not an Imperium, that went under with the Athenian fleets at Aegospotami- James Joyce

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 friends or of thine own were

None other than a beech leaf that I recently encountered

A fine grove of trees on a summer's eve
