Mapu, The Painted Vulture; "Ah, miserable ones! There is no attentive ear!" – H.N. Bialik, The Talmid; "I rejoiced that I found an attentive ear to speak of my mother today" – S.Y. Agnon, In the Prime of Her Life; "And the hand gathering shells on the shore / And an attentive ear to the great and small" – Rachel Shapira, Mah Avarekh.)
