9/11 - when our American family was hurt - for being too good, too free, too happy

HAMILTON’S 1937 AESCHYLUS (Agamemnon 179-183):

Drop, drop– in our sleep, upon the heart

sorrow falls, memory’s pain,                  

and to us, though against our very will,

even in our own despite,                      

comes wisdom,                                    

by the awful grace of God.
