Answer:
Saddened about human indifference
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Musee des Beaux Arts" by W. H. Auden.

This indifference is at odds with the fact that the events are incredible, dreadful or miraculous, and therefore should command everyone's full attention. He describes how people have often been indifferent to even the most amazing events of life, such as the birth of Christ or the fall of Icarus. He also states that this level of indifference is often depicted in classical paintings.
