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

F. W. H. Myers

Gay as the starling shoots thro’ the skies.

Gone like all things else that men set life upon.

Incorruptible, unending, free,
Like the moon’s golden road upon the sea.

Poise as of humming-birds hanging in air.

Simple as miracles always are after they are wrought.

Heart-whole, and simply as a bird that feels the onset of the spring.
