Our acts can be articulated as precisely as our facts.

Strive for clarity in your descriptions, intensity in your prescriptions.

It is only as a prescription that an act can be articulated precisely. The precision of the prescription is its intensity.

"A great clearness is the enemy of all enthusiasm whatsoever." (Edmund Burke)

A clear description of an act is no such thing. It is, perhaps, a description of a fait accompli. It merely states the fact that resulted from the deed.

When the fact is articulated with clarity its truth can be thought.

It is only in a command that the act is articulated. Only when actually ordered, can its justice be felt.
