Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"

All this does not make a passage of time or distance. It is
the same as the best.
The sign that makes the whole length so long and so light is not the
same in the distance and with a measure. It is enough and a sense for
travelling is not misplaced. It is macademised.
If there is a change, and there is no change, if there is a change and
the window is a window seat, and the wall is a window, and the summer is
long, and there is no wet winter, if there is a change, and there is no
change, if there is a change then what is the difference between more
and most, what is the difference and why is the difference not so simple
as that. The difference is as simple as the difference between what
there is and what there is. There is a difference and there is no time
in which there is no reception of anything. There is not any effect when
the effect is not produced. And if there is no change, if there is then
certainly the whole explanation is not suggested. Nothing is suggested
when there is no passing away and into and around and there is no such a
thing, there is not any denial.
A pleasant use of a cockatoo is one that when it began made it begin and
when there was a color made a bright sun. This was so recent that
certainly there did not seem to be any meaning, there did not and what
was the result, any one asking any one is not asking any one that, any
one asking any one is asking any one why is there no retrospection, why
is there more furniture than there was when the houses were empty, why
is silence so anxious to please and so distressing, why is it all so
changed and so simple, why is there such a long shadow.
