Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Ivan Turgenev
Dumb and mighty, as a tree grows on a fruitful soil.Incessant as the squeaking cry of a monkey.Emotional effusions are like licorice-root. When you take your first suck at it, it doesn’t seem so bad, but it leaves a very bad taste in your mouth afterward.Sparkling like young wine which has ceased to ferment.The egoist withers like a solitary barren tree.
