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

Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen

Clear as the skylark’s earliest greeting in the morning of the year.

Dizzy as a moth that flutters round the flame.

Light-footed as a hare.

She shines like the birch in the sunlight’s play.

It was a voice so mellow, so bright and warm and round,
As if a beam of sunshine had been melted into sound.
