EVOLVED
The evolution of a Deed is this;—
First, dormant in the power of a man,
It crawleth thence (with clinging chrysalis)
Unto his thought, and there becomes a Plan,
Which, perfect in all its members, doth spring—
A living creature—to our sight, 'mid cheers
Which challenge universal copying,
And thus, in diff'rent forms, the Same appears.
