I think Milton is chiefly responsible for the popularity among poetasters of this rephrensible word.

What do you think of Milton? ('...uneasy steps/Over the burning marle, not like those steps/On Heaven’s azure...')

I don't really like cerulean, but for some reason it doesn't make my piss boil like 'azure'.

One of the most pretentious words ever - an adjective which communicates more about its deployer than its subject. A deplorable word which must be eschewed by all writers (for have you ever heard it used in conversation?) of imagination and / or panache.
