Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
Breath
 
Her breath is like the fragrant breeze,
That gently stirs the blossom’d bean,
When Phœbus sinks beneath the seas.
            —Robert Burns		  1
  Breath like the sweets from the hawthorn tree.
            —Barry Cornwall		  2
                Her breath
Like a soft western wind, when it glides o’er
Arabia, creating gums and spices.
            —Philip Massinger		  3
                A breath,
Hot as the blasts that dried old seas.
            —Isaac R. Pennypacker		  4
  Breath like morn’s young breeze.
            —Pilpay		  5
