Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

William Cowper Brann

Disappearing at day break like foul night-birds of an unclean dream.

Potent an evil as Shakespeare’s French fiddle.

As strengthening to the mind as drinking sweetened wind out of a toy balloon.

Unctuous as a hot-corn dodger slathered with sap.
