Heidegger...now we're getting somewhere. But, I don't think he's as different from Nietzsche as you may have implied. He was one of the handful who carried on Nietzsche's project. Some of my favourites from Heidegger's Why Poets:
“We, like all creatures, are beings only by being risked in the risk of being.”
"The age is desolate not only because God is dead but also because mortals scarcely know or are capable even of their own mortality. Mortals are still not in the possession of their essence. Death withdraws into the enigmatic. The mystery of suffering is covered over. No one is learning to love. But mortals are. They are so long as there is language. Song still lingers over their desolate land. The singer’s words stay on the track of the sacred."
Heidegger speaking of Holderlin and Rilke:
“Those who risk more are the poets, but poets whose song turns our defenselessness into the open. Because they reverse the departure against the open and inwardly remember its unwholeness [Heil-loses] into the integral [heile] whole, these poets sing the integral in disintegration [im Unheilen das Heile]."

Yes, he was a passionate man, a man who loved words and imagery. He was also a very egotistical man, who thought himself very important. As a good friend says, "your way is not the only way, but simply another."
I wrongly lumped Heidegger...was thinking Hegel in my mind and the name spilled out. Heidegger was most definitely a continental and a true idealist. Hegel bridged the gap.
Nontheless, they're all nuts. Clinging to something which I know nothing of. All I can think about these days is f00kin'.
