СКАЧАТЬ like a wave of the sea

      Dark and deep as night

      Dark as pitch

      Dark trees bending together as though whispering secrets

      Dazzling white as snow in sunshine

      Deafening and implacable as some elemental force

      Dear as remembered kisses after death

      Dear as the light that visits these sad eyes

      Dearer than night to the thief

      Debasing fancies gather like foul birds

      Deep as the fathomless sea

      Deep dark well of sorrow

      Delicate as nymphs

      Delicate as the flush on a rose or the sculptured line on a Grecian urn

      Denominational lines like stone walls

      Dependency had dropped from her like a cast-off cloak

      Despondency clung to him like a garment that is wet

      Destructive as the lightning flash

      Die like flies

      Dip and surge lightly to and fro, like the red harbor-buoy

      Disappearing into distance like a hazy sea

      Dissatisfaction had settled on his mind like a shadow

      Dissolve like some unsubstantial vision faded

      Do make a music like to rustling satin

      Dogging them like their own shadow

      Dost thou not hear the murmuring nightingale like water bubbling from a silver jar?

      Drop like a feather, softly to the ground

      Drowned like rats

      Dull as champagne

      E

      Each like a corpse within its grave

      Each moment was an iridescent bubble fresh-blown from the lips of fancy

      Eager-hearted as a boy

      Eager with the headlong zest of a hunter for the game

      Ears that seemed as deaf as dead man's ears

      Easy as a poet's dream

      Emotions flashed across her face like the sweep of sun-rent clouds over a quiet landscape

      Eternal as the skies

      Evanescent as bubbles [evanescent = vanishing like vapor]

      Every flake that fell from heaven was like an angel's kiss

      Every lineament was clear as in the sculptor's thought [lineament = characteristic feature]

      Everyone on the watch, like a falcon on its nest

      Every phrase is like the flash of a scimitar

      Exploded like a penny squib

      Eyes as deeply dark as are the desert skies

      Eyes as luminous and bright and brown as waters of a woodland river

      Eyes half veiled by slumberous tears, like bluest water seen through mists of rain

      Eyes like a very dark topaz

      Eyes like deep wells of compassionate gloom

      Eyes like limpid pools in shadow

      Eyes like mountain water that o'erflowing on a rock

      F

      Faces pale with bliss, like evening stars

      Fade away like a cloud in the horizon

      Faint and distant as the light of a sun that has long set

      Faintly, like a falling dew

      Fair and fleet as a fawn

      Fair as a star when only one is shining in the sky

      Fallen like dead leaves on the highway

      Falling away like a speck in space

      Fanciful and extravagant as a caliph's dream

      Fawning like dumb neglected lap-dogs

      Felt her breath upon his cheek like a perfumed air

      Fields of young grain and verdured pastures like crushed velvet

      Fierce as a bear in defeat

      Fierce as the flames

      Fills life up like a cup with bubbling and sparkling liquor

      Fit closely together as the close-set stones of a building

      Fix'd like a beacon-tower above the waves of a tempest

      Flame like a flag unfurled

      Flap loose and slack like a drooping sail

      Flashed with the brilliancy of a well-cut jewel

      Fled like sweet dreams

      Fleet as an arrow

      Flitted like a sylph on wings

      Flowers as soft as thoughts of budding love

      Fluent as a rill, that wanders silver-footed down a hill

      Fluid as thought

      Fluttered like gilded butterflies in giddy mazes

      Fragile as a spider's web

      Free as the air, from zone to zone I flew

      Free as the winds that caress

      Fresh and unworn as the sea that breaks languidly beside them
