This paper aims to shed light on the characteristics of Heidegger's later thinking on language, which we can illuminate by examining his interpretation of Hlderlin's poetry.Poetic language differs from everyday language, such as statements (Aussagen).It speaks of imageless thinking.With the help of a priori understanding of its beingness (Seiendheit), we routinely state a being (Seiende) as something.However, the appearing of a being or an appearing being cannot be determined through a statement of "S is p."An appearing being indeed does exist; however, it disappears once the beingness of a being is given.Hlderlin's "The Rhine" is a poem that says the appearing of a being.In this regard, the poem is a language of the ineffable, which cannot be said in ordinary language.Therefore, the interpretation of Hlderlin's poetry presented by Heidegger is an elucidation of a language of the ineffable.It is the task of this paper to uncover this fact
