Lovitt: EINKEHREN - TURN IN

"Will turn in — turn homeward —" translates einkehrt  . The verb einkehren means to turn in, to enter, to put up at an inn, to alight, to stay. The related noun   Einkehr, translated in this essay as "in-turning," means putting up at an inn; an inn or lodging. Einkehren and Einkehr speak of a thorough being at home that yet partakes of the transiency belonging to the ongoing. Both words suggest the Heimkehr (homecoming) important in Heidegger’s earlier Hölderlin   essays. The allusion to a transient abiding made here in these words leads toward Heidegger’s culminating portrayal of the turning within Being as a self-clearing, i.e., a self-opening-up, as which and into which Being’s own self-lighting that is a self-manifesting entering brings itself to pass. Cf. pp. 44-45, where we find, in immediate conjunction with Einkehr, the introduction of the nouns Einblick (entering, flashing glance, insight) and Einblitz (in-flashing).
