Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
A sweet thing is a sweet relation and a smile a smile is all that gate,
a smile is separate and more inclined altogether and a rate a whole
rate is so that there is a violet to relate. The time the best time is
all together. A time is in the velvet.
Wag and a waggon, wide and wishing, window and charging.
All is good in cooking, all is good in shaking, all is good in
sacrificing a nut and corsets.
All is behind a closed dark scuttle, all is priced in sucking solemn
sardines and outrageously, outrageously quickly soon.
Wait and finish a speck of a pantaloon with old places, old places, old
places.
Supposing there is no white enamel, supposing there is no dark cloth,
supposing there are not butter jerks, supposing there are.
A cluster means a countenance, it always does, it cannot but choose to
be cautious and unnecessary and in a study. It cannot suggest a better
way to be taken. It cannot take a use. It cannot stay spread in a vacant
space emptily.
Any occasion to see the splendid having Saturday is the one that makes a
double doleful. Any west resemblance is nightly.
Relaxation in ornament is concave and not dainty, it is so winsome and
entwined, it is so arranged and saintly. The market garden shows the
stolen likeness and more chats and more tooth brushes in a plot. The
earnest courage is complicated with the understanding that is likely and
ferocious and more necessary than altogether. Tooth cake, teeth cake,
tongue saliva and more joints all these make an earnest cooky.
Plunging into the middle mingling, wedding the worrying, and teasing the
trying, meddling with more and fathering a single sunshine, all this
makes much hut and more much more.
The window rest is more in than out entirely.
The pen within is more there than before.
The cutting stands are more shadowed than rainy.
The outside is more dreadful than water, the rest is more excellent than
impaired. The licking is with a spoon spreading and a question of oats
and cakes, a question of oaks and kinds a question is so stately.
If the best full lead and paper show persons and the most mines and toys
show puddings and the most white and red show mountains and the best hat
shows lamp shades, if it is the sterns are sterner and the old bites are
bulging and the best the very best of all is the sunshine tiny, is the
hollow stone grinding, is the homeless wedding worrying.
