Gross and Subtle

Facts, naked facts, gaunt and terrible may be; 
truth, bare truth, though its vibrations may snap every chord of the heart; 
motive selfless and sincere, though to reach it, limb after limb has to be lopped off -- 
such are to be arrived at, found, and gained, before the mind on the lower plane of activity can raise huge work-waves. 

The fine accumulates round itself the gross as it rolls on through time and becomes manifest, the unseen crystallizes into the seen, the possible becomes the practical, the cause the effect, and thought, muscular work.
