28. Eurythmy Address

But that is precisely how life is created in the artistic. And eurythmy uses the human being itself as its tool. It does not work with external tools and means of expression, but with that which lies within the human being. Goethe says so beautifully: When man is placed at the summit of nature, he in turn perceives himself as a summit, takes in measure, order, harmony and meaning, and rises to the production of the work of art. Should we not be able to rise to the production of a work of art in the most beautiful way, when we make the human organism itself, which is a small world, appear in its own right, in accordance with its own laws, like an excerpt from the whole great world, a tool and means of expression for what we artistically intend?
