Joan Stambaugh's translation of that paragraph from Die Erinnerung in die Metaphysik.
What happens in the history of Being? We cannot ask in this manner, because there would then be an occurence and something which occurs. But occurrence itself is the sole happening. Being alone is. What happens? Appropriation appropriates. Perduring the opening out, the origin takes the parting to itself. The appropriating origin is dignity as truth itself reaching into its departure. Dignity is what is noble which appropriates without needing effects. The noble of the worthy Appropriating of the origin is the unique release as Appropriation of freedom, which is unconcealment of concealment--because it belongs to the ground-less.

P. 79
