Meaning and Concealment of Meaning in Paul Celan (1975)

In the earliest text dedicated to Paul Celan Gadamer tries to answer the question about what concealment is, namely the almost deliberate concealment of meaning, so skillfully settled by the poet. Resorting to the analysis of the poem “Tenebrae” Gadamer shows that specific technique of writing, which releases multilevelness of semantic content using block concatenation of words. But the unity of semantic intention, this the most difficult work, is left here to the reader.
