Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

Some one is not the same and that one is not refusing
all in refusing everything. That one is the only one. He is there again.
He sits where he tells what he tells when he tells all he tells as he
tells why he tells what there is that he can tell and has told. He does
not refuse to remain although he does stay when he stays. He is there.
This is not the end of all that.
Assailable barter in withdrawing slaughter is not the least of
expression of following disaster. The ardent sitter and the intending
hearer and the reclaiming helper and the disturbing divider and the
vigorous hearer and the alarming buyer and the deep thinker and the
steady beginner, all the leader and half the seller, all the listener
and all the controller, all the etcetera and all the clearer, all the
continuer and the rest steadily staying somewhere, all the same what was
was there and what is is here. If the rest remain then getting them all
there is not laughing as each one can tell the same. They do not all
see. They have that which becomes them. They are not keeping everything.
They give it again. They say they do.
He had all when he had enough and knew them all and said it as if he saw
where he heard. He was shining and there was not all the fast bowing
that he was not doing. He did the same. He said that and something else.
He was not remaining still.
