Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Nach zum Teil bruchstückhaften Mitschriften» (From transcripts that are in part fragmentary). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 246), which also speaks of "fragmentarischen Hörernotizen und Vortragszusammenfassungen". The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
Imagine - this is not nice to imagine, you will say, and yet there is the state form - imagine your ears enlarged so that they are quite large, the ears, not Sceleno ears, but very beautifully built, arising from the earlobe. And now imagine the shoulder blades expanded into wings, and the whole as an organ that also contains the larynx, so that you have an organ into which the music of the spheres directly intervenes, so that you have wave formations, a formation from the earlobe - the larynx wings and shoulder wings. The vibration of the universe intervenes in the whole. [This is how Lucifer speaks the world word. I'm sure you know that. Up there is the head. You see the wings overlapping. The head is meant to be open at the top and connected to the wings.
