Jar
Jarred on the ear like a squeaking lead-pencil.
—William Archer
Jarred horrid, like the rusted hinge upon a door of hell, like the shrill scream outbursting from a frightened charger’s throat, like the rasp of a tang of brass against an iron gate.
—Victor Hugo
Jars like a butting ram.
—William J. Lampton
