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

Henry A. Clapp

Clinging like a faint odor.

Cling to the memory as tenaciously as the fragrance of lavender clings to glove or lace.

Dead as Scrooge’s partner.

Masterful as the blind instinct that compels the migration of schools of fish.

Sound-hearted to the core, like some perfect fruit ripened in a sunny nook of an English garden.

Thin as the petal of the cotton blossom.
