Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
Together
 
  Stick together like birds.
            —Anonymous		  1
  Together like birds of prey watching a carcass.
            —Anonymous		  2
  Come in together like dinner and wax tapers.
            —Anonymous		  3
We all live together like two wanton vines,
Circling our souls and loves in one another.
            —Beaumont and Fletcher		  4
  Grow together like tares and wheat.
            —Elizabeth Barrett Browning		  5
  Hang together like bees or Scotchmen.
            —Edward Bulwer-Lytton		  6
  Cluttered together like so many pebbles in a tide.
            —Robert Burton		  7
  Together unavoidably, like two ships becalmed near each other.
            —Joseph Conrad		  8
  Together, like meeting rivers.
            —John Hughes		  9
  Gathered herself together like a watch spring.
            —Rudyard Kipling		  10
  Paths now lie together, as our footprints on the strand.
            —T. Buchanan Read		  11
            So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition;
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;
So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart,
Two of the first, like coats in heraldry,
Due but to one and crowned with one crest.
            —William Shakespeare		  12
            Join they all together,
Like many clouds consulting for foul weather.
            —William Shakespeare		  13
  Gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit.
            —Old Testament		  14
  Together like the two kings of Brentford smelling at one nosegay.
            —Bonnel Thornton		  15
