Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Clear as the crystal flood.Curling like a kinked up ostrich feather.Eyes like a bright blue-bell.Fled like a flash of light.They float in its rythmic measure like leaves on a summer stream.Modest as a flower.Rattled like shutters in a blast.Soft as a lady’s hand.Sprang like an arrow shot straight from the bow.She starts like a sleeper who wakes from dreaming.Still as the dawn.
