The world worlds, and is more fully in being than the tangible and perceptible realm in which we believe ourselves to be at home...By the opening up of a world, all things gain their lingering and hastening, their remoteness and nearness, their scope and limits.

Even this doom of the god remaining absent is a way in which the world worlds...All coming to presence...keeps itself concealed to the last.
