The difference of Being and beings, as the differentiation of overwhelming and arrival, is the perdurance (Austrag) of the two in unconcealing keeping in concealment. Within this perdurance there prevails a clearing of what veils and closes itself off—and this its prevalence bestows the being apart, and the being toward each other, of overwhelming and arrival.
In our attempt to think of the difference as such, we do not make it disappear; rather, we follow it to its essential origin. On our way there we think of the perdurance of overwhelming and arrival. This is the matter of thinking, thought closer to rigorous thinking—closer by the distance of one step back: Being thought in terms of the difference.
We here need to insert a remark, however, concerning what we said about the matter of thinking—a remark that again and again calls for our attention. When we say "Being," we use the word in
