LowLow alignmentMost translators re-paragraphed Steiner substantially. The locus identifies the same chapter or section, but paragraph-N to paragraph-N mapping is loose. For exact-quotation precision, compare with the German.
Record: unknown. How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here. Unknown is not an assurance of a stenogram: check the edition's own notes before resting an argument on one word.
The head's spirit,
You can will it;
And willing becomes for you
Sensing’s many-formed
heavenly weaving;
You weave in wisdom.
The heart's soul,
You can feel it;
And feeling becomes for you
Thinking’s seed-awakening
world living;
You live in glory.
The limb's strength,
You can think it;
And thinking becomes for you
Willing’s goal-directed
human striving;
You strive in virtue.
