And so, by observing what lives in language as a volitional element, by being able to extract this from the human form in a completely lawful way, one can create a visible language that is as directly based on the outer human form as, I would like to say, the tongue, palate and lip movements are based on what flows from the head and heart in ordinary language. And this is precisely what happens in eurythmy. In eurythmy, we are dealing with a visible language that, by its very nature, can express what flows from the whole being of the human being in the poet.
