But then one will also notice how a secret eurythmic element underlies the poetic treatment of language, how the poet really experiences the musical and the imaginative in his organism more or less unconsciously and imaginatively when he is truly creating poetry. Schiller, who believed that in poetic creation the least is actually created, always had an indefinite melody, something musical in his soul, before he even strung together the literal content of a poem on this melodiousness. The main thing for him was the musical shaping of language, just as for Goethe the main thing was the imaginative shaping of the poem he had in mind. This must be taken into account if one wants to do justice to the necessary form of declamation and recitation that accompanies eurythmy.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Address on Eurythmy","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-05-07","location":null,"word_count":207,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277c/1922-05-07/p016","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1920–1922","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277c/English/SOL2025/19220507e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
