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

Richard Hengist Horne

Black as the fleet from Aulis ’gainst doomed Troy.

Enraged as the wild winds to reason deaf.

Heavy, like a spade that digs in clay.

Rosy … like ripened peaches in the morning light.

Smiling like a new-blown flower.

Spotted, like the field-bean’s flower.
