Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Arsène Houssaye
Long-bearded like kings of the Frankish race.Cautious as a girl.Chubby as the Diana of Jordaens.Comely as Apollo.Contagious, like silliness.Love is like spring: it laughs through the cold and the snow; it perfumes the night and flourishes under graves.Love is like epidemic diseases, the more one is afraid of it, the more is one exposed to it.Pale as a lover dying of despair.Pale as a trappist.A man without a passion is like a vessel waiting for wind and not budging.Passions are like roses, the more you cut them, the more they grow.Quiet as a mouse.Regular as the private garden of a Grand Duke.
