Eyes Like Butterflies

Eyes Like Butterflies is a treasury of memorable and resonant similes and metaphors taken from modern English literature. The thousands of images collected in this book are arranged by theme and range from the charming ( pillow-fighting clouds ) to the startling ( the eyes of a Belsen stoker ). It will be a source of reference and inspiration for creative writers, but it will mainly be read for the sheer delight to be found in the inventiveness and brilliance of its contents.
