Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
George H. Boker
Awful as justice.As bright as the waves of a rill.Dropped … like a spent horse.Lovers are like walking ghosts, they always haunt the spot of their misdeeds.Melancholy as a cow.As plain as noon-day.Strutted through hell, and pushed the devils by, Like a magnifico of Venice.
