Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
If it is a willing thing to be fairly active in determining that leaving
leaning forward means marrying, if it is a happy thing that exhibiting
means coming to be withdrawing what one was expecting to have had
remaining, if it is a lonely thing to be telling some one who is one who
has come to be one that they are waiting and certainly not any one had
been so completely despairing as some one is worrying, if it is a lovely
thing to have what is remaining lasting so that leaving it is not
destroying loving being something, if it is succeeding to be discovering
that having been is losing coming to be, if it is an aspiring thing to
be marrying when a little thing is a big thing and a big thing is
selling for what it is selling, if it is a steady thing that all that
has been is following when all that has been has been completing
arranging being and not being deceiving, if all that can be worried is
lost and all that can be gained can be won and all that remained can be
shown and all that is sold can be seen, if seizing is not doing and
doing is progressing and progressing is denying and denying is
constructing and constructing is explaining and explaining is unifying
and unifying is repeating and repeating is creating, if creating is not
exhausting and if not exhausting is allowing saying what is saying when
talking is enlarging what enlarging is meaning when meaning has
expression, if expression has emotion and emotion has a medium and a
medium is adaptation and adaptation is not being used when anything is
coming then all who had the room that they had when they were what they
were saying was what saying is if it is producing and it is producing,
all had the room where they put what they put as they made what they
made and felt what they felt and followed what they led and led where
they went.
Late in looking like a young man, long in looking like a young man,
young in being quite a young man, last in beginning continuing being a
young man he who was clearly using all he was using was feeling enough
of having what he was having to be feeling all he was feeling in
suffering all he was suffering and producing what he was producing. In
producing what he was producing he was not spending what he was paying
in buying what he was buying. He bought something and he used something
and he had something and he produced something and he sold what he sold
and that which was selling was not being deceiving because he was
producing what he was producing and having what he was having.
