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

Sit

Sits careless of wave’s ebb and flow,
Like a love beacon on a desert coast,
Showing where all her hope was wrecked and lost.
—Thomas Hood

Sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief.
—William Shakespeare

Sit up all night like a watching candle.
—Thomas Tomkis
