A Lady by Amy Lowell
Which is an example of SIMILE?
You are beautiful and faded / Like an old opera tune
In your eyes / Smoulder the fallen roses of outlived minutes,
And the perfume of your soul / Is vague and suffusing
My vigor is a new-minted penny, / Which I cast at your feet.

Or like the sun-flooded silks / Of an eighteenth-century boudoir.
