We Are but Dreams, Let Us Go among Dreams
Original caption: We Are but Dreams, Let Us Go Among Dreams
Several haloed figures stand closely together above a bowed armoured man. Their robes and lowered faces give the group a solemn unity. Sime’s caption names them as dreams going among dreams, introducing the visionary company of Dunsany’s collection.

The connection to the six heroes comes from the exact caption repeated in the story on printed p. 27, not from interpreting the circular discs as identifying particular religious figures.
