The Tuscan is said to represent a sturdy labourer dressed in homely apparel. There is beauty associated with its simplicity. The Doric represents a full-grown man, similar to the Tuscan, but with some ornamentation. It is considered grand and noble and considered suitable for more warlike buildings; implying the attribute of discipline. These orders are considered lacking in grace and elegance, the want of which led to the creation of the Ionic order, formed after the model of a beautiful young woman. Creativity continued, and the Corinthian order was invented, and is known as the richest of the orders. The inspiration was the tomb of a young lady, with a basket of toys left beside it covered with a stone. Plants grew up around it, covering it with leaves. From this we might infer the attribute of sympathy. Masonry then held forth her torch and illumined the whole circle of arts and sciences, resulting in the fifth order, the Composite. It is so-called as it has elements of the other four. It is chiefly used in structures where strength, elegance and beauty are all to be displayed.
