Description
How are we to think about this day, the 20-year anniversary of 9/11? This is a day of double memory, double mourning, double pathos.
We remember the lives that were lost on that terrible day, and what that meant to the families who lost them, the spouses who lost spouses, the parents who lost children, the children who lost parents, the brothers and sisters who lost brothers and sisters. In his elegy You’re Missing, Bruce Springsteen gives voice to this pathos.
Pictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, you're missing
You're missing, when I shut out the lights
You're missing, when I close my eyes
You're missing, when I see the sun rise
You're missing
That trauma, that loss, never goes away.
