Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"


Sender came and he said that those who were not dead had not said what
some said they said. Sender did not stay long. Sender intended to come
again. He would come again. When he came again he would say something of
what some who were not dead had not said.
All who are tired and are hearing what they are hearing are expecting to
be hearing that some one who is waiting is going to ask if he will be
visited. It is a very difficult thing being tired and hearing what one
is hearing when some are not asking what they might be asking.
It is easy to begin again if repeating is anything and repeating being
existing it is a difficult thing to commence answering something and
commencing answering is all of that easy thing and that easy thing is
existing.
All who have left have not come again and coming again they are saying
that it is an easy thing not to hear what they are hearing, not to
repeat what they are repeating.
It is kindly to be friendly, it is pleasant to be repeating, it is
agreeable to be returning having been answering, it is charming that
some one says something, it is pleasing that some one has heard
something, it is disturbing that some one has not been expecting
something, it is astonishing that some one has forgotten something, it
is disappointing that some one is not saying that he has not seen what
he has seen, it is saddening that some one has put something back and
has gone then and has come to leave nothing that he had when he came.
