How does the concept of being come to our mind? Where does the verb “to be” originate from the origins of speculative philosophy? Such questions raise problems about the conditions for the emergence of ontology in the history of the speculative sciences. It is historically known that the return to fundamental ontology as a science or primary philosophy in contemporary times, with Martin Heidegger, takes place under the banner of poetry. The objective of this article is to show that with Heidegger, it is certainly the being that is at the center of ontology, but this being is essentially linked to verbal and nominal poetry. From modernity, it is a question of understanding with Heidegger, that the essence of thought, beyond the representation given to it by the Moderns, is inscribed in the collecting donation of being. Hence the need to welcome the being in a thought that becomes poetry.
