Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

Dr. John Doran

Bright and steady as a sunbeam.

Dry as granite.

Glittered like dragon-flies.

Pure as the stars in yon blue sky.

Scarlet as Major Bagstock.

Sparkling as Mercutio.

Sprang, like the twin fountains of Benasji, from a divided source.

Swear like a drunken tapster.

Sweet as Anadyomene rising from the sea.

As timid, touching and inquiring, as she who charmed the gods from the threshold of Olympus.
