Lady Capulet: O me! This sight of death is as a bell That warns my old age to a sepulchre. She's looking at Romeo and Juliet, who have just killed themselves. This is the sight of death. It was a feature of funerals that a bell would be rung, the death-knell, to mark the funeral. That is what John Donne is talking about when he says "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." Here Lady Capulet says the sight of her dead child is like hearing a death-knell, and like Donne's bell, it tolls for her. It is a reminder of death, a warning that as age draws on, you get closer to the tomb, which is what sepulchre means.
Ernest Hemingway won a Pulitzer Prize for The Old Man and the Sea. He also won a Nobel Prize for literature for this book.

Hemingway may have been likened to his character in The Old Man in the Sea by his critics because of the length of time between For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940) and The Old Man and the Sea (1952), which was more than a decade. His critics considered him washed up and finished, much like the townsfolk thought of Santiago in the book. Santiago was an old fisherman who had gone nearly three months witout catching a marlin and was considered Salao, or unlucky - in other words, washed up.
