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

John Scott

Calm as the clear evening after vernal rains.

Flown like the light clouds of a Summer’s day.

Dreadful sounds,
Loud as tides that burst their bounds.

Sublime … like the sun’s fir’d flame.

Various as an April day.

Welcome … as dewy cherries to the taste in June,
As shady lanes to travelers at noon.
