Excerpt from The Brethren of the Cross: A Dramatic Poem

With the annihilation of the Order of Knights Templars we hear no more in Europe about the Head. The Arabs, of course, were always expecting Layard to unearth the Head of Nimrod, but they are survivals of an elder world. If any existing Secret Societies have yet maintained among their mysteries that of the Head they have kept the secret and have avoided all repetition of the Templar fiasco; however, one can hardly conceive the likelihood of such occult mysteries being kept up, even as symbols, in days when the Church has so long ceased to persecute with fire and sword.
