something.  Speak up, act to  stop it, do what you can even thought it
is very difficult.  And I  think that it also means "do what is right
even if it means losing  your own life".

it means something else: it conveys the sense of (in?)significance of 
a single man's life during the major historical conflicts. 
 
Carol adds:
I happen to have a link to "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, #17,"
the Donne sermon in question. If the spelling gets in the way of
comprehending it, try the audio link at the bottom. It's a beautiful
thing, worth listening to for the poetic imagery and power of the
language. Whether it can be thematically related to the Potter books,
I don't know. I confess I haven't made the effort.

Want to give it a shot, Tonks? Or a-svirn, or anybody? (Geoff?)
