Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
If they had any of them refused all they could refuse they would have
been all of them important as they were. They were saying what they knew
they were saying. They were refusing all they were refusing.
They did not see all who were staying to say what they knew they were
saying. They did hear very much of all they heard. They were enlightened
when they said they were staying and that they were saying what they
knew they were saying.
They had enough to be attacking confusion, they had enough of staying.
They had enough of staying in accomplishing to be aspiring in saying
what they were knowing they were saying.
Addressing themselves then they were saying what they were saying.
Allowing themselves then they were saying what they were saying.
Intending then they were saying what they were saying. Following then
they were saying what they were saying. Leading then they were saying
what they were saying. Having been staying they were coming in saying
what they were saying. Expecting then they were deciding destroying and
knowing what they where saying. Working then they were producing saying
what they were knowing they were saying.
It was not a fantasy this which was an open movement of staying. It was
not a desertion this which was a complete staying in recognising. It was
not completely enterprising that which was creating following. It was
not determining that which was intending some destroying. It was
completely enlivening this which was contrasting what was remaining. It
was completely intending that which was opening alarming. It was
completely meaning that which was beginning explaining understanding. It
was vaguely attacking that which was distinctly clearing. It was
deciding believing that which was expecting demonstrating.
They all were where any one who was not there was and they all were
where they would be when they were where they had come when they had
stayed as they had stayed, because they had stayed and staying and
saying that which they were knowing they were completely what if
emerging is accepting constraining is not destroying and intending is
continuing.
