One can say: precisely in the moving larynx - its movements are, after all, the basis of the movements of the air that occur here as I speak to you - in the moving larynx, one has, in miniature, everything that the will can conjure up from the moving human organism. By transferring these movements, which one obtains by studying the natural movements of the larynx and its neighboring organs, to the whole human being, one really does get something that corresponds much more to the artistic than our ordinary spoken language. Even when it is artistically shaped into poetry or song, two elements are mixed into our ordinary spoken language: one is the element of thought, I would even say that it comes from the head. In our civilized languages, this element of thought is something that is already inclined towards the conventional, something that has gradually lost more and more of its elementary origin in human nature and therefore has little artistic value left in it. For the artistic is based precisely on the exclusion of the rational, the conceptual, the imaginative, on immersing oneself directly in the secrets, in the riddles of the moving existence, without concepts, without ideas. This can be done by using the human being himself, as we are doing here, as an instrument, as a means of expression. This can be done if one has a language that strips away all thought and uses only the element of will for its revelation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"46.

Man kann sagen: Gerade in dem bewegten Kehlkopf - seine Bewegungen liegen ja den Bewegungen der Luft zugrunde, die hier geschehen, indem ich zu Ihnen spreche -, in dem bewegten Kehlkopf hat man in der Tat im Kleinen vor sich alles dasjenige, was der Wille aus dem bewegten menschlichen Organismus hervorzaubern kann. Dadurch, dass man dann diese Bewegungen, die man auf diese Weise durch [Studieren] der naturgemäRen Bewegungen des Kehlkopfes und seiner Nachbarorgane erhält, dass man diese auf den ganzen Menschen übertragen kann, bekommt man wirklich etwas heraus, was viel mehr dem Künstlerischen entspricht als unsere gewöhnliche Lautsprache. [In unsere gewöhnliche Lautsprache mischen sich] - sogar, wenn sie sich künstlerisch zur Dichtung formt oder zum Gesange formt - ja zwei Elemente hinein: das eine ist das Gedankenelement, ich möchte sagen: das vom Kopfe herkommt. Dieses Gedankenelement, das ist in unseren zivilisierten Sprachen schon etwas durchaus nach dem Konventionellen Hinneigendes, etwas, das allmählich immer mehr und mehr verloren hat alles elementare Herauskommen aus der Menschennatur und das daher wenig noch Künstlerisches in sich hat. Denn das Künstlerische beruht ja gerade darauf, dass ausgeschaltet werde das Verstandesmäßige, das Begriffliche, das Ideenhafte, dass man sich unmittelbar ohne Begriffe, ohne Vorstellungen in die Geheimnisse, in die Rätsel des bewegten Daseins hineinversenke. Das kann man, wenn man den Menschen selber, so wie wir es hier tun, als ein Instrument, als ein Ausdrucksmittel benützt. Das kann man dann, wenn man eine Sprache hat, welche von sich abstreift alles Gedankenmäßige und rein das Willenselement zu ihrer Offenbarung benützt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":258,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277b/1920-02-07/p008"}],"english":["GA 277b/1920-02-07/p008"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":258,"en_words":258,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2416,"original_word_count":2338,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1918–1920","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277b/English/SOL2024/19200207e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
