You no longer notice this when language has really taken hold or when singing is present. But it is nevertheless the case that we owe our speech and singing to the fact that we bring our movements to rest. Now you can bring out again what has gone into the sound, into the tone, into the singing. If one then shapes it evenly, artistically – if one did not do this, it would be shaped unevenly – if one then shapes it artistically when one brings it out, then there is also a movement for everything that can be given in sound and tone: that is eurythmy. So that it really is visible singing, visible speech.
