Read these lines: No, do not lift the latch, but through the pane we'll stand and watch the circus pageant of the rain, and see the lightning, like a tiger, striped and dread, and hear the thunder across the shaken sky with elephant tread. Which lines contain an example of a simile? "No, do not lift the latch, / but through the pane" "we'll stand and watch the circus pageant / of the rain," "and see the lightning, like a tiger, / striped and dread," "and hear the thunder across the shaken sky / with elephant tread."
