The world's fifth largest economy, exited from the European Union as the results of a referendum among British nationals of the United Kingdom came out stunning the member-countries and other nations. The consequences were immediate: the stocks came falling down and the Singapore dollar, for one, loses its value.
John Donne, one of its greatest poet must be turning in his grave. It was he who said, in one of his poems, "No man is an island." Actually, that was the title of the poem of the 16th century poet. He even said, "If a clod is washed away by the sea/Europe is the less."
Will Europe be weakened by Britain's cessation or vice-versa?
Here is the first part of "No Man Is and Island."
"No man is an island
Entire of itself
Every man is a piece of the continent
A part of the main."
