Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
Anne Brontë
 
  Dreadful as the parting hour.  1
  Dull as lead.  2
  Happy as a lark.  3
  The human heart is like Indian rubber: a little swells it, but a great deal will not burst it. If “little more than nothing will disturb it, little less than all things will suffice” to break it.  4
