Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
You agree, I agree, we agree. If we agree and we do not agree, if we
agree and both say something then I say I do not agree and you say you
do not agree. If we both say something and you say I agree and I say I
do not agree then if we agree we agree that you agree and if you agree
that you agree then I agree that I then do not agree. Some agree, some
do not agree. That is something that any one saying any other thing is
saying is not happening. We agree, that is something that some say is
not happening. We agree that is something you are saying. In saying that
thing you are saying that thing and I am not saying anything. In not
saying anything I am saying that agreeing is nothing, any one saying
anything is agreeing, any one saying anything is not agreeing.
Some when they are talking are saying that they are not only saying that
thing, they are saying anything and in saying anything they are saying
that everything is nothing. In saying that thing they are saying that
they are hoping that if any one is answering them they will then not
need to answer again and they do answer again and then they are hoping
again that they will not need to be answering if any one says anything.
Any one answering can be one hoping that they will not be one expecting
to be answering again. Any one answering can be such a one.
If very many who come and say yes had come and said no, not any one who
was liking that many come and say yes would have been liking what was
happening. Very many who would not have been liking what was happening
if very many had come and said no did like what was happening as very
many came and said yes.
All who came and said yes said that they said yes and some of them said
that they had intended to say no and they would have said no if they had
not said yes. Having said yes they said that having said yes they would
say yes again if they did not say no.
One being one who had said no said that having said no he was saying yes
and saying yes he was saying that he would come to say no if he would
not come to say yes. This one was saying that he was not waiting to say
no. This one was saying that he was not waiting to say yes. This one was
saying that he would come to say no if he came to say no. This one was
saying that he would come to say yes if he came to say yes. This one was
asking if some one who had said yes had not said no. This one was saying
that one who had said no had said no.
This one was waiting and waiting was not waiting to say no was not
waiting to say yes. He was not waiting for any one to say no for any one
to say yes. He was not waiting for every one to say no, for every one to
say yes, this one was waiting and in waiting he said that he had said
yes if he had not said no. This one was waiting and in waiting he asked
any one what they had said whether they had said no, whether they had
said yes.
