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

Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Blue violet, like Pandora’s eye.

Bright as midnight’s brightest eyes.

Your clutch is like the grasping of a wave.

Deep as midnight’s starry treasure.

Every heart was glad,
As if the taxes were abolished.

One snowy cloud hangs, like an avalanche of frozen light upon the peak of night’s cerulean Alp.

Hollow as is the armour of a ghost.

Low as zephyr, telling secrets to his rose.

Secret as rocks under sea.
