Need Help with Commas in this Sentence

 
 
Reply Fri 2 Dec, 2016 11:08 pm
Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble deciding where (if anywhere at all) I need to place commas in this sentence: In Leaves of Winter he writes about exile where sorrow and happiness meet.

Would I need commas between "Winter" and "he" and between "exile" and "where," or could I keep the sentence without commas?

Thank you

@grammarpupil,

...'tween "Winter" and "he"
The trend, Gram, is away from the comma except where necessary to meaning

Quote:
and 'tween "exile" and "where"
absolutely unnecessary
