Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Edith Wharton
Bowed to them like a tree in a storm.Flowed by like the streaming images of sleep.Meaningless as the boom of waves in a drowning head.Offensive … as a smell of cooking in the drawing room.Rosy as the candle-shade.Imagination shrouded, like the drawing-room furniture.A smile that was like sunrise on a sea strewn with wreckage.Fitted as snugly as bits in a puzzle.Unappetizing as the remains of a feast.
