So one could say: the human being has, in a sense, two poles, the pole of thought and the pole of will. Ordinary spoken language and ordinary singing bring into activity the pole of thought in the human being, which is led into the air stream. Eurythmy activates the movement or will pole of the human being. So that the whole human being becomes, as it were, a kind of larynx on the stage before us, only that now the movements, emerging from the will – because they have not reached the calmness of thought and thus pictoriality, but only proceed as movements – represent a visible language, a visible song.
