Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
William Cowper Brann
 
  Disappearing at day break like foul night-birds of an unclean dream.  1
  Potent an evil as Shakespeare’s French fiddle.  2
  As strengthening to the mind as drinking sweetened wind out of a toy balloon.  3
  Unctuous as a hot-corn dodger slathered with sap.  4
