Is "For whom the bell tolls" a sentence? I don't think it is but my friend (who knows more about grammar than I do) claims it is...

For whom the bell tolls is the title of a work by Ernest Hemingway, but it is drawn from a line from a poem by John Donne, where it forms part of a complete sentence.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
