Dichten

A blog of Poetry: to say, to speak, the verb for to make poetry, dichten. Poetry is the condition for the possibility of philosophy, the condition that fulfills its own condition, a sort of causa sui that doesn't leap but grounds in its disdain for the question of ground. This blog hates itself in its metaphysics, but achieves the height of nothing...

"In addition to the choice of words, positioning of words, and the sequencing of words, it is above all the entire overall resonance of the poetic telling that "expresses" the so-called meaning. Yet this overall resonance of the telling is not simply the result of the positioning of words and arranging of lines, but rather the reverse: the overall resonance of the telling is the initial, creative resonance that first intimates the language; it is the origin not only for the arranging and positioning of the words, but also for the choice of words, an origin that in its resonance constantly anticipates the use of words. This overall resonance of the telling, however, is from the outset determined by the fundamental attunement of the poetry, which takes form within the inner outline of the whole. The fundamental attunement for its part grows out of the particular metaphysical locale of the poetry in question." Martin Heidegger, Hoelderlin's hymns "Germania" and "The Rhine", translated by William McNeill, not yet published.

Dichten means poetry in German

and by the way, although this site won't be in German, it will make manifest to the people the beckonings of the Gods, bringing man closer to his ideal, if only by bringing the ideal closer to man, with fluffyness and metaphor to shew away boredom and at the same time put out tediousness, distraction, and irritation by ending where I can and not reiterating myself or repeating myself or going over it all again ever again. I hope this will satisfy my impatient readers who expect too much and are angry when things do not meet these expectations. They cannot be satisfied but incessantly want more: if you'd like to find out why you do these things and if you'd like to change to be a happier, better person you cannot ignore what will soon follow.
Dichten, poetry in German, but in English, begins.
