55. Eurythmy Performance

It must be pointed out that poetry is not based on the prose content [and on] the literal content of what the poet expresses, but that what is truly artistic in poetry is based on the language form and that which underlies the language form, the sound form, or also in that which underlies the language in terms of language and theme. Here we actually see a hidden will to move of the whole human being. Therefore one penetrates into the inner depth of a poem or a piece of song when one takes this poem or this song material in the visible language of eurythmy.
