In our civilized languages, poetry, in terms of its artistic element, already suffers from the fact that, to a large extent, a conventional element flows into our languages, that which only serves for social communication from person to person. Of course, the poet must use all of this, but it is an unartistic element of language formation, and it becomes particularly unartistic to the extent that the thought element, the element of ideas, mixes with the linguistic element. In the linguistic element, the thought element and the will element, which both reveal themselves from the human soul, flow together. But now one can say: something is all the more artistic the more the thought element recedes. The more we are able to empathize with an object or process in such a way that we do so to the exclusion of the ideal, to the exclusion of the abstract, to the exclusion of the thought element, the more the impression is an artistic one, which is particularly achieved in eurythmy by the fact that the thought element is completely excluded and only the will impulses that otherwise accompany the thought element are transferred into the movements of the limbs.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"47.

Die Dichtung leidet ja ihrem künstlerischen Elemente nach in unseren zivilisierten Sprachen schon darunter, dass zum großen Teil in unsere Sprachen einfließt ein konventionelles Element, dasjenige, was nur dient zur sozialen Verständigung von Mensch zu Mensch. Das alles muss natürlich vom Dichter verwendet werden, aber es ist schon ein unkünstlerisches Element der Sprachbildung, und es wird insbesondere unkünstlerisch in dem Maße, als sich das Gedankenelement, das Ideenelement dadurch in das Sprachliche hineinmischt. Im Sprachlichen fließen zusammen das gedankliche Element und das Willenselement, die beide aus der menschlichen Seele hervor sich offenbaren. Aber nun kann man ja sagen: Etwas ist umso mehr künstlerisch, je mehr das Gedankenelement zurücktritt. Je mehr wir in der Lage sind, uns in einen Gegenstand oder Vorgang so hineinzuversetzen, dass wir das tun mit Ausschluss des Ideellen, mit Ausschluss des Abstrakten, mit Ausschluss des Gedankenelementes, umso mehr ist der Eindruck ein künstlerischer, was in der Eurythmie besonders dadurch erreicht wird, dass ja das Gedankenelement ganz ausgeschlossen ist und nur die sonst das Gedankenelement begleitenden Willensimpulse in die Bewegungen der Glieder übergehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":202,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277b/1920-02-08/p010"}],"english":["GA 277b/1920-02-08/p010"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":202,"en_words":227,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2646,"original_word_count":2521,"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/SOL2024/19200208e01.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.
