Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
Larger than everything is larger. Larger and larger and not so strange,
larger and strange and stranger, these are coming and have come and
they are not going. Large and strange, and large and large, and strange
and stranger, and strange and large, and strange, and large, and strange
and stranger, and large and larger, these are what has come and is
coming and is staying and is meaning that anything is pleasant and that
anything is unpleasant. That is enough. Always having done what is not
making all the difference between what has been done and is being done
is what has been done and what has not been done. What has been done is
what is making the difference that is meaning what it is meaning if it
were making all the difference that what has been done has not been
making.
In being each one moving a little in holding up and dropping what was
not resting each one is being that one who has shown what he will do in
doing what he has done to be not the one who is watching while waiting.
Each one is not watching while waiting. Any one coming to move a little
and deranging what he is holding is not needing to be distracting any
attention which is then not existing. So it can have been when all of
them were not then doing all that was known. All that could be known was
what all of them said they knew and they did know what they knew and
they said all that they could say in saying all that they did say. They
were not then all who were including all of enough and they were all
then including everything and they were all then not deciding that any
one who was coming was not coming. The one stopped motioning the one who
was not motioning, the one stopped motioning, the one who was motioning,
the one stopped motioning the one who would be, was and had been
motioning, the one motioned and stopped motioning, the one had motioned
and was motioning, the one stopped motioning and was and would be
motioning.
Meeting they went all of them with the one with whom they went and they
stayed and were talking, they stayed and all who stayed and were talking
and those who stayed and were not talking they all stayed when they
stayed.
They respected when they stayed all they said and they stayed and they
said all they said. They said that they respected what they said while
they stayed and they stayed. They stayed and they said what they
respected and what they said.
They did not stay to stay they stayed and they said they respected what
they said. They did what they said they respected and they said they
respected what they respected. That was not enough and they said it was
enough and that it was not enough. They said they stayed and they said
that they respected all they respected and they respected all they said.
They stayed when they stayed. They all stayed when they stayed. They all
respected what they said when they said what they said. They all said
what they said. They all stayed.
