The leap first of all opens the untrodden expanses and concealments of that into which the grounding of Da-sein must penetrate as belonging to the call of the event
All these junctures must be endured in such unity, out of that steadfastness in Da-sein which distinguishes the being of the future ones.
These take over and preserve the belonging (which is awoken by the call) to the event and to its turning, and thus they come to stand before the intimations of the last god.
The conjuncture: the disposal which is compliant [sich fügend] to the call and which thereby grounds Da-sein.
40. The work of thought in the age of transition
The work of thought in the age of transition (cf. Überlegungen IV, p. 90) can only be, and must be, a course of thought, taking this word "course" in its two senses at once: a proceeding and the path on which the proceeding takes place, thus a path that itself proceeds.
Can such a thing be given form in saying, so that the simplicity of this task comes to light? And to such a thing does there correspond the conjunction Of the Event? Who may know that? Yet only therefore is it to be ventured.
Will this attempt some day find an exponent? That is, the one who can speak of the path that proceeds into, and prepares, what is coming. But not the one who merely calculates all that is contemporary about it and thereby "explains"—and ruins—everything
41. Every saying of beyng is couched in words and namings
Every saying of beyng is couched in words and namings which, as expressions of beyng, are liable to be misunderstood when taken in the sense of the everyday view of beings and thought exclusively in that sense. What this requires is not at all primarily a failure of the question (within the realm of the thoughtful interpretation of beyng); rather, the word itself already reveals something (something familiar) and thereby conceals that which is supposed to be brought into the open in thoughtful saying
Nothing can remove this difficulty. Indeed, the attempt to remove it already signifies a misunderstanding of all saying of beyng. The difficulty must be accepted and must be grasped in its essential belonging (to the thinking of beyng).
