The quote is taken from Oscar Wilde's "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" (http://www.pmms.cam.ac.uk/~gjm11/poems/reading).
It is a poem which expresses sympathy for a sinner who is hanged in a prison: "A prison wall was round us both, Two outcast men were we: The world had thrust us from its heart, And God from out His care: And the iron gin that waits for Sin Had caught us in its snare."/"Yet all is well; he has but passed To Life's appointed bourne: And alien tears will fill for him Pity's long-broken urn, For his mourner will be outcast men, And outcasts always mourn."
