Roger and Jessica are in a church honoring one incarnation, and the
text in question is about "the children of that other domestic
incarnation" referring to the incarnation of Isaac from the loins of
Abraham and Sarah, the children being Abraham's descendants, the Jews.
Smokeshriek is a reference to the shrieking from the ovens of the
Jewish holocaust.
