Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Robert Buchanan
Bare as a naked bairn.Came and went like the lighthouse gleam on a black night at sea.As cosy as down among country lanes.As dim as dim might be.Fading like moonlight softly into darkness.Gay as a guinea.Gleam … like the phosphor of the foam upon the shore.Good as gold.Harmless and pleasant as the murmur of brook and wind.Light as a faint wreath of snow
That tremblest to fall in the wind.Murmur like the moan of far-off seas.Slow as the hand on clock’s face.Slow as the white cloud in the sky.White as the winding-sheet.
