Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Edmondo de Amicis
Emile Augier … carried his celebrity not as a mantle but as a flower in his button-hole.She drooped like a blossom bent by the wind.Eyes, brilliant and humid like the reflection of stars in a well.Soothes the ear like the echo of distant music.Stamping her feet like an Italian actor representing anger.Tall and slender like an ode in quinary verses.Vaguely, like certain luminous scenes of the theatre back of those thin curtains which suddenly descend on the scenic stage, transporting the spectators from the tumult of a ballroom to the silence of a private house.
