Emily Dickinson: A Deed knocks...

Source: DRAMATISTS

A Deed knocks first at Thought
And then -- it knocks at Will --
That is the manufacturing spot.

Source: c. 1872, poem no. 1212, in toto.
-- Emily Dickinson, (Dec 10 1830-1886), US poet; She was a reclusive stylist who combined spare lyricism with unorthodox diction.
