Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
One having come and heard is asking if he has heard all that he heard.
That one going is not coming again if hearing all he has heard he is not
asked to come again. He does come again and asks why he has not heard
what he intended to hear. He comes again and hearing what he could hear
he asks what it was that he has not heard. Coming again he does not
look at what he has not seen because he has seen all of not looking at
that and he has asked that that is what he is to hear again. He is that
one.
No not all that all can hear is enough to change what all are changing.
In changing it all and all is changing in changing it all it is
determined that any one who is convinced is convinced. This is why in
having what each one is having all are having what all have come to be
having. This is enough to determine every one to continue and every one
being determined some remain where they did not like to stay and staying
there they are determined, quite determined.
Starting in is not beginning because starting in has come when not any
one has told all that they have to tell and beginning is beginning
telling something. This is all that each one learning is explaining to
some one who has or who refuses something.
If the one having what he has keeps what he has he can say that he had
what he had but did not expect to keep it.
If one coming to remember all that has been happening knows that he can
not lose everything he can decide to give up keeping anything and in
that way he can resolve quite completely resolve what he has known he
could not resolve. This is all of what has been happening and very much
has been happening and very much is happening.
The joy of having a little thing when all of that little thing has
disappeared is what is interesting some who are having something of what
they have been having. That is not enough to complete quite everything.
That is enough to help arrange something.
Having all of something is not useful when all of that thing is lacking
what it is lacking. This is not annoying. This is not discouraging. This
needs all there is of explanation.
Clellan came to where if he had not come he would have been deciding
that not any one going anywhere could come. He did not like everything.
It is in a way what Clellan is doing doing what he has been liking. It
is in a way what Clellan is not expecting not doing what he is doing.
Clellan is feeling that he has not been arranging everything. Clellan is
quite feeling this thing.
All and enough of them have come all have gone away. Some look again.
Some do not look again. It is not a sad thing. Always it is not a
frightening thing. That is quite enough.
