Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

His wife said that she
remembered something. He did not then say more than he said. Not any one
left the room. They all were busy.
He did not live by the light that there was when he went to live where
he stayed some months. He talked about everything. This was not needed
then but it was a very good thing as a way to begin and to have begun.
He was satisfying.
The darkness was the same when he came in and when he went out and he
talked about that when he talked about everything. He said he had had a
little girl. He said the whole family were not there. He did not say
that he needed everything. This was not what he said when he said what
he said and he said what he said. He was not the only one and yet that
was enough, that he was the one. There were some who said the same. He
was not one.
Darkness is not black enough to have the same feeling that it has when
not any one who is grieving is saying that it is a peculiar thing to
adopt a child that is born and then to keep her. It was understood. Any
one told the rest and it was not the only way to work every day and to
have the whole piece covered so as to be as it was gay. The last time
that there was the whole big piece was the time when the green and the
blue and there was some red too was the time when it was all largely
covering what was not too pretty to be lost. It was then sold and
everybody was satisfied.
