Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

Each one putting the pie
anywhere is putting the pie anywhere. This is enough to please all and
all are not pleased when all are pleased. All are pleased and nicely
pleased and completely pleased when all are all pleased and all are not
pleased not quite pleased when each one doing what each one is doing
each one is not seeing that any one doing what any one is doing is doing
and a nice house where some have come and a house not so nice where some
have come, all of it and any of it is what is not annoying and each one
has eaten what has left in them all that has come out of them if they
face a way which is the other way they were facing when they were facing
the way they were facing when they were facing the other way.
One not being running was not being deserted. One not being waiting was
not being deserted. One not interfering was receiving what the other one
had who had what she naturally had and she would have what she naturally
had if she could have what she would naturally have.
If refusing is easily done then it is to be done as it is done when it
has come to be done so that some one will say to all, do not do so.
It is very high up and yet to be so high is not to say that that is
likely to be heavy if it is built lightly enough so that falling is not
easy.
Falling is not easy and it is not easy when there is a river that is
bigger than it is where it is smaller and it is not easy when there are
ways of hearing enough sounds that make all the little things come
together who were scattered until they were called.
