If we then accompany eurythmy with recitation or declamation, then I would say that the secret eurythmy that the poet invisibly weaves into the speech must already be expressed in the declamation and recitation accompanying the eurythmy. Therefore, one cannot declaim and recite to eurythmy as is often done, where the actual artistic aspect of speech formation is not taken into account, but where the prose content is emphasized, where only the prosaic is actually pointed out.
