Allen this feels (sorry for lack of vigour) like the Heraclitean 'being
tends to be cryptic' or 'being likes to hide itself': that the very
revelation of beings (and thus being)-- philosophy -- is precisely the means
for its obscuration (that emerging into speech, the revelation of beings is
hidden (covered over, skipped) by the speech itself; but that is not
nothing).
