This transfer is interesting for the reason that it is clear to the sensory-supersensible observer to a certain extent how the entire relationship of a being to the surrounding nature and to its own form appears in the vocal cords of a being. Anyone with an intuitive mind will easily see in the roar of the predators a certain imitation of the shape of the predators and, in particular, of the movement of the predators, as this movement arises from the muscular system. And who would not see with a corresponding sensory-supernatural gift of observation how the song of birds, the sound change of the bird, is a wonderful expression of the movement of the bird on the waves of the air itself.
