"Therèse was sixty-two; she was tall, thin, looked like a skeleton, not
a hair was left on her head, not a tooth in her mouth, and from this
opening in her body she exhaled an odor capable of flooring any
bystander.  Her a.s was peppered with wounds, and her buttocks were so
prodigiously slack one could have furled the skin around a walking
stick; the hole in this splendid a.s resembled the crater of a volcano
what for width, and for aroma the pit of a privy; in all her life,
Therèse declared, she had never once wiped her a.s, whence we have proof
positive that the sh.t of her infancy yet clung there.  As for her
vagina, it was the receptacle of everything ungodly, of every horror, a
veritable sepulcher whose fetidity was enough to make you faint away.
She had one twisted arm and limped in one leg."
-- Marquis de Sade; "The 120 Days of Sodom" (1785)
