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

George P. Morris

Boundless as the sheeted sky.

Formal as a Quaker.

Melted like vapor in the sun.

Playful as a rabbit.

Prim as a Quaker.

Pure as bright Aurora’s ray.

Sad my thoughts as willows bending,
O’er the borders of the tomb.

I’m weeping like a willow
That droops in leaf and bough.
