Vallejo?

There are blows in life, so powerful…I don't know!
Blows as from the hatred of God; as if, facing them,
the undertow of everything suffered
welled up in the soul…I don't know!
~ from The Black Heralds by Cesar Vallejo

Can I see another’s woe,

And not be in sorrow too?

Can I see another’s grief,

And not seek for kind relief?
...
And can He who smiles on all

Hear the wren with sorrows small,

Hear the small bird’s grief and care,

Hear the woes that infants bear —
~from On Another's Sorrow by William Blake
