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.
\\nWe 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\\u2019re Missing, Bruce Springsteen gives voice to this pathos.
\\nPictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
\\nYour house is waiting, your house is waiting
\\nFor you to walk in, for you to walk in
\\nBut you're missing, you're missing
\\nYou're missing, when I shut out the lights
\\nYou're missing, when I close my eyes
\\nYou're missing, when I see the sun rise
\\nYou're missing
That trauma, that loss, never goes away.
