The Powers of Darkness
“What name hast thou? And he said, Legion!”
“Whensoever the impure spirit goeth out from the man it passeth through waterless places seeking rest; and not finding it there, it saith—
“I will return unto my house whence I came out;
“And coming, findeth it empty, swept and adorned. Then goeth it and taketh along with itself other spirits more wicked than itself—seven, and entering it, findeth its dwelling there; and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.”
—The Gospel according to Luke.
