Declamation has its home in the north; and is effective primarily through the weight of its syllables: chief stress, secondary stress. In contrast, the reciting artist has always lived in the south. In recitation man takes into account not the weight but the measure of the syllables: long syllable, short syllable. Greek reciters, presenting their texts concisely, experienced the hexameter and pentameter as mirrors of the relationship between breathing and blood circulation. There are approximately eighteen breaths and seventy-two pulse-beats per minute. Breath and pulse-beat chime together. The hexameter has three long syllables, the fourth is the caesura. One breath measures four pulse beats. This one-to-four relation appearing in the measure and scanning of the hexameter brings to expression the innermost nature of man, the secret of the relation of breath and blood circulation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VIII","site_heading":"Art's Return to the Spiritual: Color, Music, and Poetry","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Der Deklamator ist immer mehr im Norden zuhause gewesen. Bei ihm handelt es sich darum, vorzugsweise durch das Gewicht der Silben zu wirken - Hochton, Tiefton - und darinnen die Sprachgestaltung zu suchen. Der rezitierende Künstler ist immer mehr im Süden zuhause gewesen. Er drückt in seiner Rezitation das Maß aus, nicht so sehr das Gewicht als das Maß der Silben, lange, kurze Silben. Die scharf sich ausdrückenden griechischen Rezitatoren erlebten den Hexameter, den Pentameter, indem sie genau wußten, sie stellen sich mit ihrem Rezitieren in das Verhältnis zwischen Atmung und Blutzirkulation. Die Atmung verläuft so: achtzehn Atemzüge in der Minute; zweiundsiebzig Pulsschläge durchschnittlich, approximativ in der Minute. Atem, Pulsschlag klingen ineinander, daher der Hexameter: drei lange Silben, als vierte die Zäsur, da mißt ein Atemzug vier Pulsschläge. Dieses Verhältnis eins zu vier, das messend-skandierend im Hexameter zutage tritt - das Innerste des Menschen wird an die Oberfläche gebracht im Skandieren, das Geheimnis, das besteht zwischen Atem und Blutzirkulation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":171,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-05-20/p034"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-05-20/p040"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":171,"en_words":145,"ratio":0.85,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.74,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
