Concerning the Ur-poem, then, my claim is that by "appraising" its own emer-
gence into language, the Ur-poem engages and gures a relation between its
own determinations and their emergence into language that unveils or "sur-
veys" the Wesen of language. In so engaging the Wesen of language, the Ur-
poem thus provides an encounter with language, one through which all

When Heidegger claims, therefore, that the "co-responding through

ing the nature of production. One can see why Heidegger would not want to
speak of poetry as the causal force behind human dwelling. Such a notion is
wedded to the notion of eYcient causality, a concept Heidegger considers a
perversion.

More importantly, eYcient causality involves two present forces
meeting one another, resulting in some eVect. Where in such
