Crooked is a bait?

I read the original quote

> “You shall love your crooked neighbor / With your crooked heart.”

as splitting the difference between physically uneven and morally flawed. Selfishness - we put ourselves first in our heart, tipping the scales in ways that are more obvious to others.

It's not bait in the hands of an Auden! but it is in an internet title.
