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

Stephen Crane

Curled and writhed like a snake stepped upon.

Dangle like a broken bough.

Dripping like a laborer in a foundry.

Fight like hell-roosters.

Gave a glance as from the depths of a tomb.

Involved like a cart involved in mud and muddle.

Scold like a wet parrot.

Stooped like sprinters before a signal.

Stumbled like fat sheep.

Sweeping along like the Huns.
