Heidegger typifies the interpretation of a poem as "elucidation". In the elucidation the poem becomes accessible. The elucidation is, according to Heidegger, perhaps not much more than the "detuning of snowfall on a bell". The elucidation is detuning as a way of attuning; it provokes a disposition so that the poem can manifest itself. It is somewhat violent to the occurrence it befalls, but at the same time "humble" in the sense that it might disappear finally behind the pure presence of the elucidated poem.
