Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

It
is enough to please any one that every one who has come has not said all
that they say when they come again. It is not amusing when two who have
come have gone. It is not disturbing when three who have come and gone
have asked a question. It is not interesting when some one who is
pleasing has pleasantly explained everything.
If in having told a thing one has been appreciated then one can want not
to tell it again and one can tell it again and one can be interesting
then and one can be not very interesting then. It is exciting to be
tired and to tell all that has been told. It is exciting to be tired and
to be not expecting anything. It is exciting to be tired and to sit and
tell all about everything any one is doing. It is exciting to be tired.
If it were pleasing to be enjoying one could enjoy something and one
could say that they had heard all that they heard. If it is not pleasing
to be enjoying and if it is not pleasing is it continuing, if it is not
pleasing to be enjoying and one is hearing what one is hearing then
certainly if there is any purpose in enjoying being pleasing then it is
easy enough not to be enjoying.
Is it or isn't it pleasing not to be enjoying and if it is is it
continuing and if it is not is it continuing. If it is what it is then
it is easy enough for it to stay where it stays and if it stays where it
says is it what it has been.
