Lacking a kind of psychological perspective, or maybe it's impossible for Heidegger. Full of wonder, bowing down to a genius. He should have been able to write a similar tribute to Stefan George as well (which he apparently have done in The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics or On the Way to Language), which is really idolatry. And that's actually reminds me of the speeching style of Zweig's disturbing book. He often compensates for that lacking with memories of Hoelderlin's living conditions, though.
Note: Just found that Liu Haoming was criticizing Heidegger in his book 荷尔德林后期诗歌评注(上), p. 131-139.
