'Open as day,' 'deaf as the sea,' 'poor as winter,'
'chaste as unsunn'd snow.'
He ranges all Nature. These are characteristic examples:

As doth the blushing discontented sun
From out the fiery portal of the east,
When he perceives the envious clouds are bent
To dim his glory and to stain the track
Of his bright passage to the occident.
(Richard II.)
