residency = being located

dwelling = being found

Willa Cather writes: “It was the Indian manner to vanish into the landscape, not to stand out against it. Their conception of decoration did not extend to the landscape. They seemed to have none of the European’s desire to master nature … they spent their ingenuity in the other direction; in accommodating themselves to the scene in which they found themselves.”

Note: “The Hidden Side of Nearness” lifts from these Heidegger lines: “The irresistibility of ordering and the restraint of the saving power draw past each other like the paths of two stars in the course of the heavens. But precisely this, their passing by, is the hidden side of their nearness.”

“Tracing Fugitive Gods” hinges to Heidegger’s use of the phrase “the traces of the fugitive gods” in the following context: “Thus the abyss holds and remarks everything. In his hymn ‘The Titans,’ Hölderlin says of the ‘abyss’ that it is ‘all-perceiving.’ He among mortals who must, sooner than other mortals and otherwise than they, reach into the abyss, comes to know the markers that the abyss remarks. For the poet, these are the traces of the fugitive gods.”

“Archaeology of Dwelling” hinges to Heidegger’s essay “Building Dwelling Thinking.”
