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

Richard Glover

Crashing … like thunder nigh, whose burst of ruin strikes the shatter’d ear with horror.

Dark as Pluto’s palace.

Sullen, fix’d like some old oak’s deep-rooted, knotted trunk, which hath endur’d the tempest-breathing months of thrice a hundred winters, yet remains unshaken.

Fresh as the May-blown rose.

Like Diana pure.

Sweet as the vernal flow’r in early prime.

Unshaken like a Thracian hill.
