The six insets are (from top left, clockwise): 1. St. Brendan, 2. The voyagers’ ship sailing beyond the circle of the world to the Land of Promise, 3. The beach of the Land of Promise, covered with glittering jewels, 4. The man in white who informs the monks that the island is prepared by God as a refuge for his Saints in time of persecution, 5. The flowers of Paradise whose sweet odor is “keen as death,” 6. The White Tree of Paradise, which is the central vision of the poem.
