At this point Burne-Jones was continuing to think about the Rome mosaics and Lucifer and his hoards being excluded from the sanctity of Heaven. In this drawing maidens are being released from a confined space into the freedom of open country indicating that he was pondering on the contrast between confinement and freedom, expulsion and release. If this idea is correct it would be confirmed by the tentative nature of the maidens emerging through the door and the leader holding her hand out as she enjoys the feeling of fresh air. St John Chapter 10 verse 1: this passage also refers to doors as an allegory and thus relates this drawing to the drawing on p 376-377 (inscribed with the quotation) since in verse 9 Christ identifies himself as a door "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, an shall go in and out, and find pasture." Burne-Jones is here closest to being a religious mystic, identifying himself with Christ as he had with King Arthur in The Sleep of Arthur in Avalon. By extension, he is stating a belief that he had held all of his life, of the divinity of Art. This design is allied to a panel on the side of the casket that was made for and given to Frances Graham in 1877.
