    "Magdalene lay on her back, stark naked, drenched in
    sweat, her raven-black hair spread out over the pillow and her arms
    entwined beneath her head.  Her face was turned toward the wall
    and she was yawning.  Wrestling with men on this bed since dawn
    had tired her out."

    -- Nikos Kazantzakis,
       The Last Temptation of Christ
