The purpose of this paper is to read the text of Martin Heidegger, Über den “Humanismus” Brief an Jean Beaufret, Paris (1947), in order to arrive at a better understanding of later Heidegger and Schubert, Winterreise (1827). Considering the symbolism characteristic of Heidegger’s terminology, consequently, it offers a close parallel to that of Schubert, Winterreise in literary terms. The reasons are as follows: First, it is well known that Heidegger was deeply affected by the poems of Hölderlin. No wonder, therefore, that Heidegger gave much attention to Hölderlin’s destiny (Geschick) in the hidden places, after the interruption of Sein und Zeit. Second, it is remarkable that this fact reflects that Heidegger tried to effectively make the writing system of “metaphysics”, based on the duality of “light and shadow”, which should be essentially equal to the aspect of Lichtung in German. And then, we understand that such a unique idea of later Heidegger leads to the leitmotif of Schubert, Winterreise, through the glass of Hölderlin darkly.
