I’d like to thank whoever decided to reprint John Donne’s beautiful poem ‘No Man is an Island’ on the Backlash page. I don’t know whether it was meant to be a subtle observation of our community’s recent brush with the pandemic but it served as such anyway.
Great literature transcends time and Donne’s message is so pertinent today that I can even forgive the 17th-century accepted practice of overlooking women.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Love the headline! More plaudits for the Echo.
Actually it’s a tad obvious, and corny too boot.
Having a bit of a downer today, Barry?
