Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Henry Hart Milman
Hollow as the unbowell’d winds.Steps … light as though a winged angel trod,
Over earth’s flowers, and feared to brush away,
Their delicate hues.Shrink, as from a serpent in a knot of flowers.Shrivelled like a burning scroll.Thy smiles, like sunflowers in the golden light they love.Soothing as the gale of eve.Vain and unprofitable, as is the sunshine to a dead man’s eyes.
