The Bulustrade

Slowly on tempo I have tolled a story of disbelief with grace the step word has description to coal,

on the bridle a bit attach, changed for the spotter of rein, as the snaffle, to the double of the grasp.

Bravo information on in Tell bringing Innocence each parted lived to start the flat,

on edge of the Spark in Hours for the Minuet a clock on the Handler called The Brain,

central with blink, a zone that is, Mind in logic, a school mountain, of design, to pane,

Horse on the Run, a Way for the trace, to Halt thought Of people by no date Mistake,

curve balls flight straight through be Framed to notch the cart of a load Shed of toe,

To master the use of words--to make words and sentences as familiar to the tongue or the pen as one makes his legs or his arms familiar to his needs--is to gain power in a world that was ever, and perhaps will ever be, a world of competition.  Familiarity breeds confidence; confidence radiates power.  Familiarity with words, then, produces easy flow of expression.  And once the flow is easy, with the mind released from the strain of concentration upon the task of speaking or writing, there may come, if one reaches out for it, the application of atmosphere to the art of expression--charm, magnetism, influence, power.

The action of the mind has a speed of about the same velocity as light, approximately 186,000 miles per second.  Sound has a much slower tempo, approximately 1080 ft. per second.  Articulation, writing, or typing at best is performed at a rate of speed that is a mere fraction of the speed of thought.  Hence words, if their character is understood familiarly by the user, may be planned in sentences, framed into logic, tested for effect and rearranged if necessary, far ahead of the time of expression.  The practiced orator or writer may think and plan more in one second that he can express in an hour, if he be familiar with his tools.

Familiarity, then, is the keystone in the use of words.  And practice--repetition of employment--produces familiarity.  Hence if one knows his tools and practices the use of them, his actions tend to become automatic and involuntary, releasing the mind for the service of planning and preparation.
