Attributed To Azazel Shucks, This Quatrain

 Everlasting are my wishes for the piece

I seek; nor shall they slow, or cease.

For I, only I, decide when my last breath

will be relinquished to lurking death.

I scatter these wishful pieces of myself everywhere---

and dedicate them to the powers of the Prince of the Air.


---Azazel Shucks, Opsonion Hamartia

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In this quatrain, Azazel Shucks refers obliquely to Ephesians 2:2.  The name of his grimoire, of which only small excerpts have been preserved among scholars, is derived from Romans 6:23.  Those who have studied his writings have asserted that Azazel Shucks was an imitator, in a way that the infernal adversary often attempts---unsuccessfully---to imitate Christ.
