Why labor at the quarry of limitation,
Where the uninitiated worship the stone,
Yet know not the Cornerstone?
Break the chains wrought in ignorance,
Erect within thyself a Temple not made with hands.
Radiate Light through upright conduct and quiet influence,
Though the profane veil may obscure the Truth.
Observe with the Square,
Dissect with the Compass,
And from each degree of experience,
Draw forth the hidden Word.
Know this, my Brother:
Darkness dwelleth only without,
It cannot extinguish the Light
That burneth in the East of every soul.
