Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
He who was independent and afraid to say that the house was painted was
independent and did say the house was painted. The house was painted,
who is afraid, that the house is painted is not any more than being
there where there is that house and the house is painted. This is not
all the way there is a way, there is more way than there has been too
much way. This is not the condition of not reminding every one of
something.
An arrangement that followed remaining together was not the only
arrangement every one made who followed every other one. There was not
every misunderstanding. There was no disposition to resist the whole
business of remaining being living.
Carting there where there was paper carting cloth there was not an
occupation. Kindly asking some one to be leaving was not an occupation.
Nobody did it.
Hardly had one who was longer than the use of color hardly had he had he
remained a long time when he came to do what he did. He used some of
that and then it did not happen that he intruded remaining. He was the
end of something.
All the many attractions of eating what is placed in a plate and put
together is there when there has been a cold winter and there has been
enough money for that to continue to be winter. It was not the mention
of everything that meant that the change had not come, it was the
beginning of something that meant the change had not come. The rest
followed later. It followed quickly and there was the same half that
together was not the whole. It was not expected. Any one refused
something.
A bargain is not a bargain if one giving is receiving and one receiving
is giving. Every bargain is the same when there are two and these two
are the two who were the two who had been any one and were then that
one. He who had all the rest did not have enough and naturally he said
that he was delighted when he had an opportunity to see that he was
there. He could not then hear what he heard and he could see what he
saw. Any one of them all was there and there were enough there so that
any one refused something and did not say no when they received all that
was offered. They did not refuse to mention everything. It ended then.
That was so disappointing.
It was earnest to stay every day, to weigh every day, to work some day,
it was earnest to say that was all day when any day was the piece of a
day when they did not stay where they would stay. They were not all not
gay. They were not gay.
