RW Bro. Francis Dumaurier, of l’Union Française Lodge 17 in the Tenth Manhattan District, recently launched what he calls his “personal Chamber of Reflection.” Brotherly Rhymes 
exhibits Francis’ poetry.

“I personally wrote each story in the classic style of three quatrains of alternating alexandrine verses, and I illustrated them with assistance from Google’s Gemini and/or ChatGPT image generators,” he says in an introduction. “A new one will be posted each Thursday afternoon for as long as I can manage to do it.”

“These ‘Brotherly Rhymes’ are offered to you free of charge, and I am solely responsible for their contents, which are not sanctioned by any Grand Lodge, any other organized institution, nor any individual person or group of persons living or dead,” he also says. “The illustrations are not photographs of anything or anybody. These images were created with assistance from AI to illustrate each story, and they are works of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events or localities, is purely coincidental. I hope that you will enjoy visiting my personal Chamber of Reflection.”

Francis is Grand Representative of the Grande Loge Nationale Française near the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. Beyond the apartments of the temple, he is the author recently of Giorgio Gomelsky: For Your Love, about the life of his friend (and our Masonic brother), the legendary music impressario. Francis also is an actor. Surely you’ve seen him in Marty Supreme and The Artist; maybe you caught him on SNL, Letterman, or Conan. Busy man!
