Creators do their Individual thing and preservers just pick and
choose what
to preserve. Which is better than nothing. Does that make them Equal?

Quite so! This is the part of Heidegger that I would like to quote --
including the following:
"The Preservers of a work belong to its createdness with an
essentially
equal to that of the creator"
Artists of our era are happy to have the "preservers" pay them
and celebrate
their work -- but recognize their role as "essentially equal" to
that of the
artist ?
No way - though come to think of it - in most eras, the
"preservers" were
aristocrats who called the tune , while those whom we now recognize
as great
artists were just tradesmen who played the song.
Unfortunately, Heidegger will conclude that "the origin of the work
of art -
that is the origin of both the creators and the preservers, is .... a
distinctive way in which truth comes into being, that is, becomes
historical"
Which would invite historical argument to establish success in
both roles,
based on the question:
"what is the truth of our time?" (as distinguished from those times
that came
before)
That's why Heidegger is so important to a Marxist like Saul -- but
why would
William and Boris be so fond of him ? (both of whose work seem to
belong to a
time that came before)
