Give examples of 2 specific words from the poem "No Man Is An Island", by John Donne, that are meant to be understood metaphoric

ally. What is the figurative meaning?
"No Man Is An Island"

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 lesse,
as well as if a Promontory were, as well as if a Manor
Of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death
Diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind;
And therefore never send to know for whom the
Bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

This answer is just how I interpret it, the rest is - of course - up to you. The figurative meanings I can't quite guess, but I'll give you what I can make out.

Word 1: Promontory 
Word 2: Diminishes 

Promontory, Meaning: <em>Promontory </em>means a high piece of land such as a cliff or overhang on a mountain. 

Diminishes, Meaning: <em>Diminishes </em>means to slowly fade away and vanish. His figurative meaning using <em>diminishes </em>here: '...Diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind;...'. 'Diminishes me...' Means he's fading away metaphorically, not physically.
