Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
Wane
 
Each with an aspect never twice the same,
Waxing and waning as the new-born host of fancies, like a single night’s hoar-frost.
            —Robert Browning		  1
                Wane,
Like melodies upon a sandy plain,
Without an echo.
            —John Keats		  2
                Wanes,
As a dream dies down and is dead.
            —Algernon Charles Swinburne		  3
