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

W. Clark Russell

Bright as a new bell.

Dark as the bottom of a well.

Faint … as the wavering flame of spirits of wine.

Gurgled like the cry of a drowning man.

Hisses like red-hot iron.

Sluggish as liquid pitch.

Everything at the top and nothing at bottom, like a midshipman’s chest.

Trembled like a freezing man.
