Excerpt from Physical Culture and Voice Work: For Use in Public Schools
Montaigne, the French essayist (born 1533), says: "I would have an outward decorum and pleasing manner cultivated at the same time with the mind. It is not a soul, not a body, we educate; it is a man. Out of this one we must not make two."
And Plato says: "We must not break in one without the other, but must urge and guide both alike, like a span of horses harnessed to a shaft."
("A well-poised head is a fitting accompaniment of a shapely person.")
Head movement backward.
Head movement to right.

("The most beautiful head, especially in woman, will be marred by an ungraceful carriage.")
