Patrons such as the countess of Bedford. After Donne was dismissed from his position with Sir Thomas Egerton‚ he and his family depended in part on Patrons for financial support. In the poem Meditation 17‚ I think that statement‚ “No man is an Island” does not apply today for three main reasons‚ everyone has become more individual‚ power within the government has grown‚ and technology is separating people.
