Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
The time that begs a listener go to stay, a single shape that has no
obligation, a light idea that mixes all disdain, all this together shows
the effect, it shows that there is no use in limpness and eternal
fainting.
Why should merchants be strong and acrobats weak, why should they, there
is no question.
A carpet, what is a carpet, a carpet is something that is not dusty,
that is not delapidated, that is neither perspiring or draughty, that is
not perfect or determined. A carpet is something that, judging from the
beginning, from the middle, from the end, is not necessary when there is
no necessity for it. A carpet is such a thing and the choice of it, the
choice for it, all that is done to declare it is just the search for
the truth, for the darkness, for delicacy and for reason. All this is
not strange.
Kindling in between paper and anything, kindling is so white that it is
useless to show the color of paper, it is quite useless and yet wood
which is wood and which is paper is so splendid.
Acting together always acting together there is so much choice, there is
the choice first of all the wholes and then more places are filled and
there is every choice. Filling is splendid.
The time which is limited is that which is chosen and the necessary
statement is that in the beginning there is no swelling, in the middle
there is no dwindling, in the end there is no division. This is the
order of the referred elongation.
A quiet scene in a laughter does not shine away.
Consider the climbing that circles and celebrating sees the outline.
Consider that and measure, measure and receive the carmine. Consider no
smoke, consider no orange, consider no flower, consider no clambering
creeper, consider no outburst and no incline, consider no silence.
Capable of a recital, inches of inside measure, all the western window
wet and no smoke settling, all this and a hurricane, is a flight simple,
it is not babyish, it is not surgical.
The proposition is that a certain relation between the merit which is
and the merit which is is that which pertains to a master line. The
presence is that that which is the region is not only a realm it is a
preliminary. All this shows in shadow and in shouting there is silence
and a celebrity. All this shows in wounding and in loving all the mound.
All this shows a widening and excessively excessive round. All this
shows a vineing and it shows so much meal purge and such searching that
any silence which is eloped is that which is restrained from resting.
This is not silence.
A tooth when is a tooth empty, a tooth is empty when conduct is
preferable.
A lingering period is not shortened by melting axes, it is not even
shortened by a humming sound.
Quiet very quiet and no paper, very quiet and no tangle and nothing
solitary and not even a wounded sermon. None of these show choking.
