The image is centered on the page, separating the poem “A Ballad of a Night Refuge” from the next poem, “A Pagan Rhyme.” It is outlined in a rectangular black border, in landscape orientation. Against a light brown backdrop, several men are depicted in silhouette. The image illustrates a scene from “A Ballad of a Night Refuge” in which a “mad cripple” addresses a group of men. The “cripple” stands at the left of the image, facing the men on the right. On the far right, several military men descend steps into the room. The artist’s monogram is in the bottom right corner of the frame.
