Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

calling is not calling.
They always thought that they did not fail all of any of them and they
did not and they were there where if they were they were. It was the way
to be that which they did not do and they said it, they did say it, and
they did not declare it and they could not hear all that was said
although they did hear often that all that was said was said.
If showing what is done is one thing, and doing what is shown is one
thing, and saying what is said is one thing, and hearing what is heard
is one thing, then to be some one must find out in some way that they
are the one who are the one to do what is shown, to show what is done,
to hear what is heard, to say what is said. The way to find out that the
one showing is showing, the way to find out that one is that one is to
be that one. The way to find out that the one doing what is showing is
doing what is showing is to be the one doing what is showing. The way to
find out that the one hearing what is heard is the one hearing what is
heard is to be the one hearing what is heard. The way to find out that
the one saying what is said is the one saying what is said is to be that
one the one saying what is said.
Not gathered together is a way of sitting. It is not the only way of
sitting.
He was not gathered together.
