Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
In having meaning, in expecting realisation, in deserting wearying, in
exhausting attending, in loving insisting, in embarking anything, in
continuing meaning, in persisting working, in hoping having been
realising, in urging continuous hoping, in longing for existing, in
hearing encouraging, in desolating what is waiting, in returning what
has been being the ridiculous part of everything, in remembering all of
conquering that has meaning, in straining all of selling that has
buying, in operating all the desolation that has repeating, in all that
is and was these who were and came were the ones who are when they stay
and do not remain where they will be, these were the ones who are when
they are and they are when they are as they had when they had what they
had because they did not have what they could have since they did not
have all they did have as they were when they are.
In staying and not waiting in choosing and progressing, in following and
destroying, in succeeding and denying, in aspiring and varying in
remaining and not saddening, in looking often, in expecting everything,
in remaining after leaving choosing some, in selling after succeeding,
in expecting to be selling after succeeding, in not denying selling
after succeeding, in saying that saying can be saying, in arranging to
be seeing what has been being seen when it has been seen, in returning
when changing, in not going back in returning, in succeeding when they
were remaining, in remaining when they had been succeeding, in remaining
when they were not going to be succeeding, they were living. They were
living. There had been room for ten when there had been room for six.
There was room for six when there was room for ten. They were living.
They said that they knew that to be living was to be living. They said
that they knew that if there was room for ten there was room for ten.
They said there was room for ten. They said if there was room for ten
there was room for six. They said there was room for ten. They said if
there was room for ten there was room for six. They said there was room.
They said there was room for ten. They said there was room for ten and
they said if there was room for six there was room for ten.
They prepared something. They did not prepare saying they were knowing
what they were saying. They were knowing they were saying what they were
saying. They were staying. They were preparing what they would be doing
as they were staying where they were staying. They were not preparing
staying.
