The term "masonry" in literature has been used in a variety of senses, ranging from the literal to the symbolic. In its literal sense, authors describe masonry as physical constructions—massive stone archways, walls, and fortifications—which evoke both beauty and decay, as seen in the descriptions of broken or cold masonry in works by Mark Twain ([1]), Edgar Allan Poe ([2], [3], [4]), and Thomas Hardy ([5]). At the same time, "masonry" serves as a metaphorical framework in discussions of Freemasonry, where it symbolizes a material and philosophical edifice that distinguishes between operative and speculative practices, reflecting on themes of truth, equality, and secrecy ([6], [7], [8], [9], [10]). Moreover, the term extends into the realm of social and political allegory, with secret society narratives using Masonry to hint at subversive or transformative ideas ([11], [12], [13], [14]). In this way, literature employs "masonry" both to ground narratives in concrete architectural imagery and to suggest the construction of abstract, ideological, or mystical systems.
