INTRODUCTION

into the span
of an upward glance filled with bids.


That Da-sein be, to take be-ing back
into the awakened ear
of the one, who chooses
stillness as his work.


That Da-sein be, to sing be-ing,
out of a distant song
to bring be-ing where it is at home,
what as power avoided be-ing's sway for long.


[G11]

7. ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ


Ἀρχὰ μεγάλας ἀρετᾶς
ὤνασσ’ Ἀλά-
θεια, μὴ πταίσῃς ἐμάν

σύνθεσιν τραχεῖ ποτὶ ψεύδει . . .
Pindar, Fragment 205 (Schroeder)1


Beginning of a worthiness to greatness
Lady, godly, sheltering-unconcealing,
that thou do not ever upset my

inabiding thou through wild-hard (crude) reversal . . .


*


In a free thinking-interpretation:


The truth (clearing) of be-ing is
the being of errancy -
the sphere of error (just like the sphere of riches) is first
placed in this abode. But how about the reversal?
Clearing is the ab-ground as distress of grounding.
