We have only to compare a muddled, bewildering statement of truth with a clear, carefully phrased one to learn the value of verbal accuracy. We have only to put a prosaic record of inner experience written by an ascetic side by side with one written by an artist--that is, one devoid of all distinctive style and beautiful form alongside of one that possesses them--to feel which is more likely to stir emotion, inspire action, or affect thought.
