60. Eurythmy Performance

It is precisely this eurythmic art that shows how the human being, when used as a means of expression, can itself be the most perfect expression. It is Goethe again who says: “When nature begins to reveal its manifest secret to him, he feels an irresistible longing for its most worthy interpreter, art.” And art, when it uses man himself as an instrument, satisfies that which Goethe says so beautifully in his artist book about Winckelmann: By placing man [at the summit of nature, he in turn produces a summit within himself, taking measure, harmony and meaning together and finally elevating himself to a work of art].
