The Mystic Art

Today in Masonic History we present The Mystic Art by Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton.

The world may rail at Masonry,
And scoff at Square and Line,
We'll follow with complacency
The Master's great Design.

A King can make a gartered Knight,
And breathe away another,
But he, with all his skill and might,
Can never make a Brother.

This power alone, thou Mystic Art,
Freemasonry, is thine;
The power to tame the savage heart
With brother-love divine!
