Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
William Archer
Feverishly accelerated like the movements we see in a cinematograph.Clash and clang like glaives at … Stiklastad.Dead as Aristophanes.Dragged out like a languishing concertina.More evanescent than the rainbow.Fades like an unfixed photograph.Fill like a rush of wind and shaft of sunshine.Graceful as a fairy-tale.Jarred on the ear like a squeaking lead-pencil.Motionless, like the sun over Avalon.Ransacked like an old workbox.Stirs the blood like trumpet-blast.Unjust, like the Jedburgh judges of Border history, it first hangs the prisoner and then tries him.White as bismuth.
