Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

Some said that to pay for it then meant that
that was not the only way to keep it a long time. A half of all that was
said was said when the rest of what was paid was paid. Any one was
content. Some liked something.
The continuation was there and the last were not leading. This is not
audacious. This is the climax of having a cooler climate than there had
been.
The summer sun was not shining and the winter was not congealing and the
ardent expression of satisfaction was not mystifying any one speaking
the language that have meaning. Any language is the same when they all
speak a few words of some and some speak all the words they are using.
It was not mingling beginning and ending. It was not disturbing spending
the afternoon and the evening. It was not always disturbing the morning.
Enough had been received so that very many who came sat together. This
did not originate sneezing. This did quiet moving. This did stimulate
renewing the breathing. They were all there. They came on time. They
were all there the ones who claimed to be the half of everything. They
did not refuse to discriminate. They shown out when they did not put
there the thoughts that were the first and then the next and then the
last. They remained away when they had all that day. They did not see
the remainder who did not stay. They went away. Some can come any day.
