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

Anne Brontë

Dreadful as the parting hour.

Dull as lead.

Happy as a lark.

The human heart is like Indian rubber: a little swells it, but a great deal will not burst it. If “little more than nothing will disturb it, little less than all things will suffice” to break it.
