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

William Mathews

Difference between a sonata of Beethoven and the Battle Cry of Freedom, between a gravestone-cutter’s cherub and the masterpieces of Raphael.

Full of folds as a sleeping boa-constrictor.

Lifeless as a mouse in an exhausted receiver.
