Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Horace
Dark as the language of the Delphic fane.Fair … as the spotless moon upon the midnight sea.Frisk about like a wanton she-goat.Insipid as a garden much watered.As is painting, so is poetry: some pieces will strike you more if you stand near, and some, if you are at a greater distance: one loves the dark; another, which is not afraid of the critic’s subtle judgment, chooses to be seen in the light; the one has pleased once, the other will give pleasure if ten times repeated.Stronger than thunder’s winged force.Vain as a sick man’s dream.Wild as coursers with unsubdued neck.
