A song, for instance, in the 'Princess,' describes the succession which I have been discussing:-- 'Thy voice is heard through rolling drums, That beat to battle where he stands.
Thy face across his fancy comes, And gives the battle to his hands: A moment, while the trumpets blow, He sees his brood about thy knee; The next, like fire he meets the foe, And strikes him dead for thine and thee.' 'Thine and thee' at the end seem to me to express precisely the change from the automatic images of 'voice' and 'face' to the reflective mood in which the full meaning of that for which he fights is realised.
But it is the 'face' that 'gives the battle to his hands.' Here again, as we saw when comparing impulses themselves, it is the evolutionarily earlier more automatic, fact that has the greater, and the later intellectual fact which has the less impulsive power.

Even as one sits in one's chair one can feel that that is so.
Still more clearly can one feel it if one thinks of the phenomena of religion.

The only religion of any importance which has ever been consciously constructed by a psychologist is the Positivism of Auguste Comte.

In order to produce a sufficiently powerful stimulus to ensure moral action among the distractions and temptations of daily life, he required each of his disciples to make for himself a visual image of Humanity.

The disciple was to practice mental contemplation for a definite period each morning of the remembered figure of some known and loved woman--his mother, or wife, or sister.
