Just after I saw this, I came across a few lines by my favourite Bangla poet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jibanananda_Das:
“…paler than the grey ass he is sitting on,
the cretin cradles the cultured lulu
on his lap.”
(Translation mine, the original upcoming in a new edited volume of his hitherto unpublished poems)
