Eurythmy Performance
And poetry today is desperately searching for a way to express feeling, because we have already lost feeling in language. But if we want to reawaken this feeling today, then we must raise the whole language, I would say, to a higher level; then we must give everything that human beings can speak something like a heaven above speech, in which what lives in human souls is actually lived out in powerful forms. And when one comes to see that which language is but a shadow of, then an imaginative language emerges, where imaginations can be expressed through that which is now the microcosm, which is a small world, which is the human being, who can express all mysteries through his own form as a spatial being.
