W. Clark Russell


Bright as a new bell.	1
Dark as the bottom of a well.	2
Faint … as the wavering flame of spirits of wine.	3
Gurgled like the cry of a drowning man.	4
Hisses like red-hot iron.	5
Sluggish as liquid pitch.	6
Everything at the top and nothing at bottom, like a midshipman’s chest.	7
Trembled like a freezing man.	8
