All these things will one day be able to be viewed more impartially than today, when ingrained prejudices stand in the way on the one hand. In terms of art, this eurythmy really does something that can be characterized by a Goethean word that Goethe himself said about the visual arts: When man stands at the summit of nature, he sees himself as a whole nature that has to produce another summit within itself. To do this, he rises by permeating himself with all perfections and virtues, invoking choice, order, harmony and meaning, and finally rising to the production of the work of art.
