Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
She did feel that she had given what she had given and that having given
all she had given in giving what she had given all was not what it might
have been if her children could have come to be what they came to be and
her husband had gone on living to die before she died so that she would
be living and not dying.
That was what was and she had grand-children. She had been being living
and being married and buying what she was buying and feeling in having
what she was having.
Being married and having children, having all four of them and there
were not any more of them, she was saying what she was saying in all of
them moving to where they were moving. Some one living with them was
knowing all all of them were knowing. Some one staying with them was
arranging not to be telling what any one of them was not telling. They
moved and having moved and having built what they built and having
feeling in being living as they had feeling in being living she was
having all she was having when she was giving what she was giving and
continuing buying what she was continuing buying in arranging what had
come to be an arranged thing.
She did do all of it and doing all of it she was married and having two
of her children coming to marrying if marrying was all of something.
Marrying was all of something and being married and the two children
came to marry, being married was not all of something. She did say all
she would say she had said.
Having what she was having and being married and there being four
children she was continuing buying what, that being arranged which was
arranged, she was buying. She was married. She was giving what she was
giving in there being all in the house that there was in the house. She
had what she was having.
She did say all she came to believe. She did come to believe all she did
say. The natural way of ending being dying she did not come to believe
that she would be feeling that dying was existing. In not believing
everything she was having all she could be needing.
She knew that ending being existing and dying being existing those who
were not dead were left and being left they felt what they felt and they
said what they said.
She said that she being left felt what she felt and said what she said.
She said that having what she had she knew what she knew and knowing
what she knew she gave what she gave and giving what she gave she was
not expecting what she was not expecting in continuing what she was
continuing and continuing what she was continuing she did have what she
could have in she being the one she was being and having the children
all four that she was having and having lost the husband the husband who
died and she had been a wife who was living.
In keeping what she was keeping she was not keeping all she was keeping
as she was giving something that she was giving. She was liking what she
was liking and saying what she was saying and asking everything she was
asking and supplying all she was supplying.
