"Now, gliding through a cold lunar world, I found my confidence waning." - The Conversions
"There was nothing for me to do but return home and begin paying my debts." - Harry Mathews, The Conversions
Thanks Fenrir. Thanks a whole lot.
It was he who opened the game, saying of the first jar: a mast bears fruit for shipwrecked travelers.
I was nearly eliminated at my first turn. When I took the offered jar, in spite of all my inner preparations, its boiling heat blinded me. My vision fortunately cleared quickly enough to distinguish the crudely made image: a child was curled up, as if in the womb, within a circle on whose outer edge grew trees, shrubs and crops, all on fire. I said: The old world, burning, heralds the new one to be born.
My next scene showed two men, one of them looking in amazement at the other, who was chiseling at the bust of an old man set in the middle of a fence. I said of it: Confounding Brunelleschi, Donatello carves a venerable God from a fencepost.
Next I had to describe a picture in the upper half of which a pianist with fluttering hair regarded a cross, while below a plump bearded man engaged in tourney with an opponent in side-whiskers and velvet clothes. My description was: Brahms and Wagner joust for fame, but Liszt plays only for Jesus.

The main objective of the plotters was a series of "temporary assassinations" that were to destroy the leadership of the police and of the army divisions stationed near the capital. As you may know, Paris then had two telephone systems, one that of a private company, the other that of the Postal Service. The latter was gradually replacing the former; but at that particular time the transition was not completed and both systems existed side by side. The revolutionaries' plan was to call their victims on both phones simultaneously -- I should perhaps mention that the phones were invariably next to one another, since the Postal Service had taken advantage of the private company's wiring scheme to install its own. Then, through a clever use of conversation -- worked out experimentally with great thoroughness prior to use -- the person answering was induced to hold both phones to his ears at the same time. At this foreseen moment, explosive noises of nearly a hundred decibels were sent over the two wires to produce in the unsuspecting hearer a striking manifestation of the Allanic-Culajod Effect. This left him senseless for a few hours. -- The Conversions (1962), by Harry Mathews
