Illustrated by Tissot' s "Nehemiah see the Rubble in Jerusalem". The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by his uncle Joseph of Raiatea, traveled to the area that is now England and visited Glastonbury. The legend is linked to an idea in the Book of Revelation (3:12 and 21:2) describing a Second Coming, wherein Jesus establishes a new Jerusalem. The Christian church in general, and the English Church in particular, used Jerusalem as a metaphor for Heaven, a place of universal love and peace.
