Camille Lemonnier


Bright as living coal.	1
Glistened as the tears in a widow’s eyes.	2
Hissed like a rocket.	3
It is like eating vanilla cream in Paradise listening to beautiful music.	4
Roared like water which rushes from a lock when the gates are open.	5
Round as a quoit.	6
Sparkled like white bait in the meshes of a net.	7
Lamps twinkled like stars along the water’s edge.	8
White as the face of the dead.	9
An old man, wizened as a dried plaice.	10
