“Antisocial Personality,” Values, Psychiatry
That girls are raped, that two boys knife a third,
Were axioms to him, who’d never heard
Of any world where promises were kept,
Or one could weep because another wept.
—W. H. Auden, “The Shield of Achilles”
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.
