Shuns diamond glory for greater of flesh;
Builds higher and higher to balance unstable
In beauty of male and in exquisite female,
And sends through the intricate meshwork of cells--
Sheer matter, kin of this quartz--
Its evidence: light-hue, radiance crimson,
Eye-gleam, pulse-throb, vigor and nerve-thrill
Of just that common, miraculous Gift,
HEALTH of a body wherein dwells soul.
THERE, say I, the Infinite worked well!
Come now to YOU the artisan's skill for this marvel,
Physical man: to refine and ennoble;
To reveal the inclosure of spirit unmarred,
And grow in the mobile, responsive flesh
Mind perfect, held fast in OUR Crystal superb,
The Universe complete.
--THE AUTHOR.
CHAPTER III.
PHYSICAL TONE.
"In the healthy body every cell is polarized in subjection to the
Central Will. Perfect health, therefore, is orderly obedience,
government and harmony. Every cell is a living entity, whether of
vegetable or animal potency, and wherever disease is, there are
disunion, error, rebellion and insubordination; and the deeper the
seat of the confusion, the more dangerous the malady and the
harder to quell it.
