| Aware as the air of the light that fills full all of its girth. | 1 |
| Bald as a Greek monk. | 2 |
| Calm as a Mandarin. | 3 |
| Clear as the glisten of dew on the brier. | 4 |
| Cool as the call of a wind on the still of the sea. | 5 |
| Cosy as a dormouse. | 6 |
| Faint as the dim ghost of a dream-sea. | 7 |
| Fresh and fine as a spring in winter. | 8 |
| Frolic as the snow. | 9 |
Glad as the clay-red
Blaring of battle-horns. | 10 |
| Hushed, as in waiting for a bird to sing. | 11 |
Idleness feeds on the empty day
As a chameleon on the air. | 12 |
| Intense as the cling of the sun to the lips of the earth. | 13 |
Joy like the joy of a leaf that unfolds in the sun;
Joy like the joy of a child in the borders of sleep. | 14 |
| Light as vapor. | 15 |
| Light like a sunbeam shattered into mist. | 16 |
| Light-hearted as a boy. | 17 |
| Lithe as willow. | 18 |
| Rustling like the secret darkness of the soul. | 19 |
| Shrieks like laughter in the demoned hills. | 20 |
Glide as silent as a Dryad
That disappears among the trees. | 21 |
| As simple as a saint might bathe in lakes of prayer. | 22 |
| Soft as a dream of beauty. | 23 |
| Spotless as a Glastonbury nun. | 24 |
| Spotless as Saint Dorothy. | 25 |
| Sure as a horse when he knows his rider. | 26 |
| Sweet as the hills. | 27 |
A leap and a thrill like the flash of a weaver’s shuttle,
Swift and sudden and sure. | 28 |
| Wild as a tameless horse of Tartary. | 29 |
| Wilful as the wind. | 30 |
