   James Joyce (1822-1941), in letter to his wife, Nora: "The
   smallest things give me a great cockstand ... a little
   brown stain on the seat of your white drawers ... a sudden
   immodest noise made by you behind and then a bad smell
   slowly curling up out of your backside. I hope Nora will
   let off no end of farts in my face so that I may know their
   smell also. It must be a fearfully lecherous thing to see
   a girl with her clothes up frigging furiously at her cunt,
   to see her pretty white drawers pulled open behind and her
   bum sticking out and a fat brown thing stuck halfway out of
   her hole." (p. 76-77)
