Plato Says: ' , (cf. D4f.): "What Is Written Is As Uncanny As A Painting." (d5f.), What Is Presented

Plato says: Δεινόν γάρ που τοϋτ' έχει γραφή, και ώς αληθώς δμοιον ζωγραφία (cf. d4f.): "What is written is as uncanny as a painting." και γάρ τά εκείνης έκγονα έστηκε μέν ώς ζώντα (d5f.), what is presented in it looks as if it were alive, έάν δ" άνέρη τι, σεμνώς πάνυ σιγά (d6), yet "if you interrogate it, it maintains a solemn silence." Thus what is spoken and written is silent and delivers nothing. Plato then asks: δόξαις μέν αν ώς τι φρονοϋντας αυτούς λέγειν (d7f.); "do you really believe that what is written down could speak ώς τι φρονούν, as if it had understanding?" No, on the contrary, to anyone who wants to learn something on the basis of what is said there, "it always shows one and the same thing and no more"; έν τι σημαίνει μόνον ταύτόν άεί.

Martin Heidegger, Plato's Sophist

What shines into beings, though can never be explained on the basis of beings nor constructed out of beings, is Being itself.

Martin Heidegger, Plato's Sophist

The profound reverence for age and for tradition–all law rests on this double reverence,– the belief and prejudice in favour of ancestors and unfavourable to newcomers, is typical in the morality of the powerful; and if, reversely, men of “modern ideas” believe almost instinctively in “progress” and the “future,” and are more and more lacking in respect for old age, the ignoble origin of these “ideas” has complacently betrayed itself thereby.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil,§260

To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

In order to think the Anaximander fragment we must first of all, but then continually, take a simple step: we must cross over to what that always unspoken word, έόν, εόντα, εΐναι says. It says: presencing into unconcealment. Concealed in that word is this: presencing brings unconcealment along with itself.  Unconcealment itself is presencing. Both are the Same, though they are not identical. What is present is that which, whether presently or not, presences in unconcealment. Along with the 'Αλήθεια which belongs to the essence of Being, the Λήθηremains entirely unthought, as in conse[56]quence do "presently" and "non-presently," i.e. the region of the open expanse in which everything present arrives and in which the presencing to one another of beings which linger awhile is unfolded and delimited. Because beings are what is present in the manner of that which lingers awhile, once they have arrived in unconcealment they can linger there, they can appear. 

Martin Heidegger, Early Greek Thinking

Art opens the gates of ‘remembrance’ (Erinnerung): it is the event that actively transforms facts into a living past to keep them from becoming ‘soulless carcasses’ catalogued in remote places of memory.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
