Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Henry James
Look as blank as a pickpocket.Calm—as if she were always sitting for her portrait.Chaste … as the veil of a nun.Durable as bronze.A face that was like an open letter in a foreign tongue.Formal … as the veil of a nun.As fresh as the fruit on the tree.Light … as cork.Trivial as the giggle of a housemaid.
