Ear
 
  The public ear is like a common; there is not much to be got off it, but that little is for the most part grazed down by geese and donkeys.
            —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)		  1
  Her little ears were like rosy shells,—they had a pearl dangling from each of them.
            —Wilkie Collins		  2
  Flapping ears like water-flags.
            —Algernon Charles Swinburne		  3
