Abstract
Josef Kružík's chapter 'Ekfrasis and enargeia: On the Place of Meyer's Poem The Roman Fountain in Heidegger's Lecture The Origin of the Work of Art' is concerned with the poem by the Swiss poet which served Heidegger as an example of a work of art. Kružík attempts a thorough analysis of the poem with respect to Heidegger's interpretation of the happening of truth in a work of art.
He also underlines the connection between the tradition of Ancient Greek ekfrasis, which went beyond a simple description (description) and amounted to introducing brightness or glitter into speech.
