Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Leigh Hunt
Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a telescope.Cheeks as ripe as apples.Disappeared like buttered crumpets.Earnest as bees.Generous as daylight.Restless as butterflies.Sing-song like a stiff puffet on a humdrum barrel-organ.Smooth as a file.Surely as the same sunshine of heaven is on the mountain tops of east and west.Up and down, like a chicken drinking.Void of meaning as an oak wainscot.Whistling like the thrushes
With voice in silver gushes.
