13. Eurythmy Performance

What Goethe's all-embracing mind has actually achieved for humanity in a single area of life and world view is still not sufficiently appreciated, and is far from being fully developed in the development of culture. One need only look at one thing, my dear ladies and gentlemen, in Goethe's work, at what is said with the words: The whole plant is nothing more than a more complicated plant leaf, and the plant leaf is nothing more than a simplified plant. And what Goethe says about plants from his comprehensive and penetrating world view can be applied to all living things, not only for spiritual insight (gap in text), but also, in particular, to everything artistic and intuitive up to the human being.
