Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

It was not the
following one that meant that they followed something. There was room
for ten when there was room for six. Sixty came and they stayed when
they stayed. And two would not believe that they had stayed all they had
stayed. There was room for ten when there was room for six.
They were all staying and they did not stay because they had stayed to
stay. They had not stayed to stay. They had come to stay.
In staying they were not following one, they were following all who
stayed, and following all who stayed they did not follow as they all
stayed.
They did all stay and staying they did with feeling that they were
saying what they knew they were saying.
They did begin one and one and all of them to stay. They did stay. They
were saying, one was saying, they were saying, each was saying, all were
saying that which they said they knew they were saying.
They did all of them come to staying. They did all of them come to
following each one. They did all of them come to say that they had been
saying what they knew they were saying.
If they had any of them refused all they could refuse they would have
been all of them important as they were. They were saying what they knew
they were saying. They were refusing all they were refusing.
They did not see all who were staying to say what they knew they were
saying. They did hear very much of all they heard.
