For Emma

And Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them …

Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness; and make an opening in the desert … and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see the light …

—The Book of Enoch
