Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein: With Two Shorter Stories
Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
It is a way the way to say that being finished is all of waking, it is a
way to say that not doing again what is being done again is a way of
intending to assist an only one. It is not too distracting to be there
where closing is coming before opening. It is the only way to know
everything. It can be done. All of the way is that way. Hardly ever is
there more perfection. All perfection is increasing. This is stimulating
and causing sleeping. One is there in the beginning and is finding
interrupting to be decreasing. That one is recommending saluting. That
one is not disappointed. That one is obliging. That one is remaining the
complete expression of knowing everything. That one is there and there
is that one.
A heavy way to pass that way is not the last way to pass that way.
Passing that way is passing away. It is being done again.
When the twin is not one and there has been a fat one the thin one is
not losing delicate existing. Singing is everything.
A far away place is near the place that is having the carriage standing.
Any one driving is bumping. That is the only way of returning excepting
walking.
A simple way of remaining away is not to say that the only way of
passing the day is waiting for what has come to stay. It is not so very
long and then any one can join. They do join, that one is the one used
to beginning and she is not moving where the light is not shining. This
is not a habit it is the way that changes some day when any change is
repeating what each one has been saying.
Which did she put in and take out again and which did she put in and
leave in and what did she say when she did put everything away and what
did she say when everything was not put away. She said that she was not
suffering. She said it was fatiguing. She said she was not worrying. She
said she would not ever do it again. She said she would not leave
anything. She said she would finish something in the morning. She said
she did not mean to begin again. She said she was not satisfied with
everything. She said she did not care to repeat what she had said. She
said she would be obliging. She said that that was not surprising. She
said that she did not have any such feeling. She did do everything. She
was succeeding. She was pleasing.
She could not be saying that authorising something was believing that
she was not having what she was having. Now I have it. Now I see. This
is the way. Not that way. The other way is not the way.
