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

Asian

Thoughts as clear as limpid springs.

A friend both wise and true amid all shocks resplendent shines, like fire upon a rock’s high top, which dissipates the darkness round and fills the travellers by with joy profound.

Glossy as the finest silk.

Majestic as the sun at noon.

My soul is commingled with thine,
As water is mingled with wine.

Pale as despairing woe.

As rare as wings upon a cat, or flowers of air, a rabbit’s horns, or ropes of tortoise-hair.

From his eyes a stream of tears descended like a broken necklace of pearls.
