Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Bishop John Earle
His breast is like a gentlewoman’s closet, which locks up every toy or trifle, or some bragging mountebank that makes every stinking thing a secret.Great brains, like brightest glass, crack straight; those of stone or wood hold out, and fear not blows.Like one drowning fastens upon anything that is next at hand.
