33. Eurythmy Performance

One consequence of the fact that the truly poetic and artistic is challenged by eurythmy is that recitation or declamation must also depart from what is particularly valued in our inartistic age as the art of recitation. Today, in fact, everything recited or declaimed tends to emphasize the prosaic element, that is, the inartistic element in the poem. You find that on the outside [artistic?]. But here we must go back to the actual form that the poet gives according to rhythm, meter, rhyme, imagery, and so on.
