Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

If they look if every one looks and has not said that he is feeling
then all of them are doing what they are doing because they have not
come to say what they could say if they had come to say what they would
say. This is in a way a pleasant way of walking and disappearing. This
is in a way a way of feeling that what is happening is surprising. This
is in a way a way of not regretting everything.
If in leaving some one is leaving then in having been disappearing some
one has been disappearing and has not been saying that he has said what
he said he would say if he saw what he would have seen if there had been
what there would have been if there was what there was as there was not.
A tiny violent noise is a yellow happy thing. A yellow happy thing is a
gentle little tinkle that goes in all the way it has everything to say.
It is not what there was when it was not where it is. It is all that it
is when it is all that there is.
If she who was lifting the thing that lifting was lifting she was
arranging putting anything where she was arranging putting what she was
arranging. If putting a thing that can be cutting where some one is
jumping is disconcerting it is a neat thing that not any one is being
quite cut then. It is a delicate thing that hanging down something is a
gentle thing. It is a lively thing that moving and clapping is a
measured thing.
