7OOGENY. 409 



parts again assume a symmetrical arrangement in regard 

 to each other. They are the ideal of symmetry. 



2392. They are, however, the free living symmetry. 

 They can create by their motions symmetrical forms. 

 The symmetry consists chiefly in, and has been produced 

 only by, the motion. 



2393. The symmetry of the motion is the most exalted, 

 for it is that which is endowed with life. The symmetry 

 of the form is that which is dead. 



2394. The symmetry of the form appertains to in- 

 organic nature, the symmetry of the motion is the pro- 

 perty of animals. 



2395. Dancing and acting are the highest organic 

 symmetrical movements, and also the highest symmetries. 

 They are the symmetry of the motor members, wrought 

 by motion. 



2396. Music is a much higher symmetry of motion. 



2397. Speech is the highest spiritual symmetry ; it is 

 the dance and histrionism of the spirit or mind. 



2. Muscular Organs. 



2398. The muscles are everywhere attached to the 

 bones, and help to form with them the same set of 

 organs. 



2399. The muscles of the larynx are therefore the ante- 

 types of the costal muscles, these of the member-muscles, 

 and the dorsal muscles of the scapular and pelvic 

 muscles. 



2400. The muscles of the limbs are found in a state 

 of treble repetition. That the muscles of the arm and 

 leg are of one kind, admits of being demonstrated with 

 tolerable facility. But it is necessary, that in doing this 

 regard be paid to the ligaments. 



2401. The ligaments are only stunted muscles. With- 

 out bringing them into account, the muscular system does 

 not admit of being explained and understood. 



2402. The crural muscles are again found in the lower 

 jaw. 



2403. The brachial muscles, on the upper jaw or face.
