Brother Rudyard Kipling offers
a clue or two on masonry
in his wonderful tale spinning
the most audacious thing in fiction
“The Man Who Would Be King.”
“Supposing I was to ask you
As a stranger going to the West
to seek for that which was lost
What would you say then?”
I should answer “Where do
you come from?” From the East,
and I am hoping that you will
give my message on the square
for the sake of the widow’s son.
Which lodge do you hail from?
Once a mason always a mason.
It’s an ancient order dedicated
to the brotherhood of man
under the all-seeing eye of God.
Some audacious scholars can even
trace it back to the builders of
Solomon’s Temple. Fellows in the Craft,
said Peachy Carnehan and Daniel Dravot
on going to Kafiristan: “They’ve two and thirty
Idols there, so we’ll be 33rd and 34th.”
We met upon the level and
we’re parting on the square,
Alexander the Great was one
and he was even there.
