Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
Water did not make all the best curves, it did some curving, it used to
make a noise, that is not the only way of washing, soap and some kinds
that smell are not the same as the best perfume. This is not the best
way to be loving. There is a way to be loving. The way to be loving is
to do that and not to say that something is something. That is not the
only way of having a feeling of having to sit where the sun is shining.
The only way to say what is the meaning of anything is to say that thing
and say it every morning and evening and in between and in between there
will be the whole day and a day is a kind of a day and a kind of a day
comes when there will not be again such a one. It is very likely that
the raising of the beginning is the saddest thing to keep continuing.
It is very likely that all the better will be coming. It is certainly
establishing that which will be succeeding. The water will be sweeter
and the soap has some intention. There is a lively winning of
establishing completely that which is continuing when one and that one
is the one who says what is said and that one will do that will say it
all, will be deciding something and something being anything, anything
is everything. It is the best way that way which is that way and that
way is establishing everything. All is alike. That is not decided. All
being alike control is the arrangement. One can say the same. One sees
all that.
The card said that the whole thing was the right size, and it was
disappointing that it was not there. The card did not say everything.
All holy and walking and all the rest not passing the two were certainly
saying that the whole evening was ending. They did not dispute that.
They had the principle of not being astounding. They were not wonderful.
They admired half of what was all there was. There was enough. They did
not leave it all. They were the only ones to say that they saw the
little things that did not eat any little piece. It was undertaken. It
was not done. They saw some looking. They did not change their
expression.
Pocketing by the pocket having in it what is in it is the illustrious
way of seeing the lights that are lit and seeing the spots that are
black. All the sun and the moon and the clouds and the lights together
can not help all the people who are living some where else where it is
comfortable for some who say that they like to see what they see. They
did not change the heavy horses and the quick carriages and the
whistling train and the lights that are lit, they did not change the
best flowers and fruits and cake, they did not dislike the kind of
stones that were shown where they were shown. They did not. They
mentioned everything. This is the way to say that they are not saying
anything to-day.
