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

Alphonse Karr

Display is like shallow water, where you can see the muddy bottom.

Happiness is like game, if you aim at it from too long a distance, you must miss it.

Luxury, like wine, both stimulates and weakens.

A widow is like a frigate of which the first captain has been shipwrecked.
