Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes.
1916.
Bonnell Thornton
Together like the two kings of Brentford smelling at one nosegay.
1
Absurd as to imagine that the hair-lip or carbuncled nose a man sees in the glass, belongs to the figure in the mirror, and not to his own face.
2
Discordant as croaking frogs.
3
Dismal as the month in which Christmas is celebrated.
4
Fresh and ruddy as a parsons daughter.
5
Horrid as the witches in Macbeth.
6
Rough repetition roars in rudest rhyme,
As clappers clinkle in one charming chime.
7
Romantic as the Alcoran.
8
