In language — as in every manifestation of the human being — the whole human being, the whole human being when we consider him or her spiritually, as a thinking, feeling, willing being, is at work. If we look at language, we see that in its entire manifestation it offers a decisive predominance of thinking and imagining. It is therefore also that which – if one may say so – emanates from the human interior and actually forms social relationships. But this also leads to language, on the one hand, becoming the expression of abstract knowledge and thus being exposed to the danger of being inartistic—for thought is always inartistic—and, on the other hand, language falling into conventionality, into pure utility, which in turn is inartistic.
