Dionysius of Halicarnassus discusses the poetic style of Sappho's Ode to Aphrodite: "Here the euphonious effect and the grace of the language arise from the coherence and smoothness of the junctures": https://t.co/9ieEzP2kUD

@BayouPhilosophy Traditional metaphysicians are only concerned with the being of beings, i.e. their structure, their substance, their unity as things. But the later Heidegger is concerned with what he calls being itself, i.e. the open or clearing in which beings come into presence and absence.

Cioran’s notebooks were a secret including to his partner, who found them after his death. Some carried the inscription ‘to be destroyed’. When asked why she spent so much time transcribing 15 years’ worth of writing, Simone Boué said it was the only way to still be around him.
