PREFACE TO THE LECTURE IN MUNICH


Immanuel Kant made roughly the following remark: It is easy to discover something once we have been shown where to look.

With regard to Hölderlin, Norbert von Hellingrath, whose image was made present to us this morning through a masterly sketch, remains this kind of pointer for us all.
