Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

He stated it all. It was there and he was
with it when he did not loan it. He did not loan it. This was not all

anywhere when there was there and they were not anywhere but there. They
did not astonish themselves as they expected to be where there was
there. They were feeling all of it and all they said they listened not
to answer and hear but to say and see. They were the same. That was
individual. They were the group. That was the way. They said it some.
That was the rest. They saw it there. That was the reason. They felt it
all. That was the feeling. They did it then. That was their doing. They
hung it well. That was their arrangement. They were giving something.
That was their way. They helped it then. That was their expression. They
met often. That was their intention. They separated then. That was their
separation.
They were not identical with what had happened. They were not opposing
what was delighting them. They were not losing what they were saying.
They were not giving what they were urging. They were not the same.
Walking around when the wet place is drying is not causing all the
discussion which can be had when one and the other one and one and one
have put the four places together so that they all have the same
position. They describe each other.
