Isaiah is referenced in in reference to the red rock: "There is a shadow under this red rock, / Come in under the shadow of this red rock" (ln 25-26). This alludes to a verse in Isaiah that reads, "Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from dread of the Lord (Isaiah 2:10). Using context clues from a previous verse in Isaiah (2:3), the approximate location can be determined to be somewhere in the Mountains of Jerusalem, specifically Mount Zion.
