Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Anton Chekhov
Absurd as if you took a divorce petition to a chemist’s.Blink my eyes like a whacked donkey.The earth, like a fallen woman sitting in her dark chamber and trying to forget the past, seemed tormented with remembrances of the spring and summer, and waited in apathy the inexorable winter.Hideous as a skeleton.Ugly as a worn-out cabhorse.Useless extra, like a sixth finger.Hungry as the winter.
