Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
John Leyden
Baleful as the tomb-fire.Downward like a powerless corse.Melodious as the strain that floats on high, To soothe the sleep of blameless infancy.Shone like ocean’s snowy foam.Trembling … like beauty shining through a tear.Whiter than the downy spray.
