Those Whom God Hath Chained for Ever
Pale monumental figures loom within a dark oval, one broad draped body facing outward while another appears in profile at the side. The caption names those whom God hath chained for ever. The surrounding passage describes enormous forms in an awful calm. Bridgman-Metchim gives that stillness a close, enclosed composition, contrasting with the moving descent of spirits elsewhere in Atlantis: The Book of the Angels.
