This is Auden. About empathy or mutuality. From 'The Shield of Achilles'.
A ragged urchin, aimless and alone,
Loitered about that vacancy; a bird
Flew up to safety from his well-aimed stone:
That girls are raped, that two boys knife a third,
Were axioms to him, whod never heard
Of any world where promises were kept,
Or one could weep because another wept.
