Eyes Like Butterflies - A Treasury of Similes and Metaphors from Modern Literature in English

This compilation began when Terence Hodgson encountered the image ?she had eyes like Terra del Fuego butterflies? in a novel. Over a decade of reading he has collected such treasures as: A damaged El Greco storm sky; A smile like a torch with a weak battery; A baklava of ideas; Twilight ran in like a quiet violet dog; You kissed me like a man crossing out a sentence... and the many more in this book. It will be a source of reference and inspiration for creative writers ? but will mainly be read for the delights to be found in the inventive brilliance of the similes and metaphors themselves....
