Djaul's Skull

O sorrow! O destruction! O darkness of my soul! Have I so lost myself, surrounded by flames? And in my life did I not hope to break Only to fill my heart, abandoned by all? This evil, consuming me and dreaded by everyone, This evil, its darkness devouring the Shustuft Crust, Has so often guided me, against gods and goddesses, Was it but an echo of my own sadness? — "Descendre's Despair", a shushu poem
