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

Norman Gale

Calm as a statue-saint.

With eyes as dull as smoky glass.

Eyes like dark blue pansies.

As languid as a lilied pond.

The winking buttons on the gown
Shone like the lamps of London Town.

Slowly, as falls a tear that slowly starts
From some great agony.

Her face with little drops was wet
Like pansy petals after rain.

Breasts
As white as hedgeside May.
