Ode to Psyche- "soft conched ear"

In Ode to Psyche by Keats, the poestic voice refers to Psyche's "soft-conched ear" in line 4.

A conch shell looks like this (see above)

Notice the pinkish skin colour of the inside of the conch and how it does have the shape of a human ear.

Just thought it would be nice to post up the picture so everyone can picture the imagery in the poem more clearly :)
