Scope and Contents

III/2 Yellow, the colour of cowardice, pervades this image which represents the lukewarm and indecisive souls who follow a banner sans device. The heads are repeated, somewhat enlarged since we are now nearer to them, from the previous picture and one head is singled out for further enlargement and emphasis to represent Pope Constantine who 'made the great refusal'. The outline of the flag is adapted from that shown on the cover of Works/Texts to 1974 (where its previous history is described). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
