“A still, small voice.”—Kings.
“Where sits our sulky, sullen dame,
Gathering her brows like gathering storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.”—Burns.
REMARKS.
1. When two nouns, the subjects of a verb, are not connected by a conjunction, a comma should be placed between the two words and also after the second; as, “Indignation, expostulation, were powerless upon him as a mist upon a rock.”—Macdonald.
2. When two adjectives come together, the first qualifying the second adjective and also the noun, a comma should not be used; as, A beautiful white horse.
3. A word repeated for emphasis usually has a punctuation mark before and after it; as,—
“Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”—Coleridge.
