Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"


Attend the closing of the door and the knocking at the door and the
opening of the door. Attend the evening.
Feel the asking if it is colder when the fur is thicker. Change the
invitation so that any eating can happen all one evening. Give the time
away that some one will not delay to stay. It is a happy whole
beginning.
The mending that was done was finished when the separation meant that
finishing something is more beautiful than anything. This did not make
the regret more delicious. This did not hurry every one any way. All the
return that there is when the whole time is spent is in the way there is
the exchange of that relation. This did occupy some intention. They had
all that to dictate.
If a little passage that opened on the street had a sign up that was not
neat then surely when two were not crowding there was room to wipe up
some thing. This did not make a mess.
There was never a neglected family. This could not be. How could they
agree that this would not be the moment to alter and have them talk
together. There was never such a question. Such a change had not that
selection.
It is high that which was blinking, it was not prepared with the idea of
elevation. Any one who gave one something had that bewilderment. They
were not far away. They did not rub what they rubbed when they did not
rub away what they rubbed when they rubbed away.
