‘It was said of R. Eleazar b. Dordai that once, on hearing that there was certain harlot in one of the towns by the sea who accepted a purse of denarii for her hire, he took a purse of denarii and crossed seven rivers for her sake. As he was with her, she broke wind and said: As this blown wind will not return from where it came, so will Eleazar b. Dordai never be received in repentance.’
Quoted in Fromm’s You shall be as Gods. Surely Roland Boer has referenced this in something, right?
