Another possibility is truly living in/with the "fragmented organicity" (Lecoue-Labarthe and Nancy's term for the complete incompleteness of some romantic poetry) of language as it is for us.  Heidegger's adage about Wege and Werke strikes me as a rhetorical ploy which hedges his bets and protects him from authentic work-lessness.  Aside from those silly poems, I wonder if he ever seriously considered the fragment as the authentic organic form of the subject.

Thanks,

Allen
