Here, recitation and declamation should be performed in such a way that the artistic treatment of the language element is particularly prominent. Then the tone and sound formations of the recitation coincide particularly well with the movements that come to the fore in eurythmy. And one can say: when, as I would like to say, in a special orchestral interaction, recitation and declamation resound simultaneously and eurythmy becomes visible, then it is as if, in recitation and declamation, the spoken language were added to the style used by the poet in order to bring the style closer to us as human beings.
