A description of the experience
Proust, Marcel - Collected Poems - Number 53 [extract]:
They say a Russian, may God preserve his soul,
Managed to rouse a flutter of sensation
In Ferdinand’s leathery, tanned, and well-worked hole
By slipping in up to the hilt his brave baton.
May fire consume to ash and coal
My last rags and belongings to all
If I were a poet, I would tell
To a wide-eyed crowd the marvel
Of this flabbergasting tool.
