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

George Darley

A blooming pair of vermeil cheeks, like Hebe’s in her ruddiest hours.

Crisp as the unshorn desert hay.

Grey as time.

Pure as a Saint’s adoring sigh.

Sideways, like an amorous dove.

Soft as pity.

Subside, like a swollen bubble on the ocean tide.

Swift as a star falls through the night.

Swift as a sunshot dart of light.

Warm as a prayer in Paradise.
