Notes on the Origin of Eurythmy

But day after day I waited for Dr. Steiner to send for us [Clara and Lory Smits] and for the “lessons” to begin. Finally, one day, I met him in an open doorway. Perhaps I looked at him with great curiosity and expectation, because he put his hand on my shoulder and said: "Yes, my dear, it requires the wisdom of the whole world, I cannot tell you yet. I cannot take the time I need for this during these weeks here. Would it be possible for you to come to Basel in September when I am there? I will have time then." And so it came about that the first chapter of eurythmy was given in Basel. One day before our departure from Munich, however, we were called to Dr. Steiner quite unexpectedly, and in this meeting he gave the first concrete details about three vowels.
