unadorned

Gurungs and other Nepalis, like the Sherpas described by James Fisher (2004), "have a public, onstage side that they want the rest of the world to see, and a private, backstage side that is more unadornedly true to themselves" (373-74) that they do not care to put on display.

Affectionately nicknamed "A Wag on the Wall," the typical New England householder's clock occupied space in the kitchen, unadornedly making "a pleasant, companionable, unhurried sound--'tick!-tock!-tick!-tock!'" The ticking of such a clock, "companionable" at first mention, "beautiful" in another reference, and finally "subdued," transforms the passage of time into a harmless friend.

The same could be said for the light, the jug, the vineyard and the room in the first stanza of the first poem by Trakl that Heidegger cites (12) (though the final sentence of `Enfance (III)': `Il y a enfin, quand l'on a faim et soif, quelqu'un qui vous chasse', might be said to accommodate an experience of the laws governing private property and trespass which disturbs what Derrida has called `the tranquil self-evidence of the "there is"' (13) and so spoils Heidegger's austere Arcadia, tidily strewn with goods organic or unadornedly man-made).
