Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"


Acting together always acting together there is so much choice, there is
the choice first of all the wholes and then more places are filled and
there is every choice. Filling is splendid.
The time which is limited is that which is chosen and the necessary
statement is that in the beginning there is no swelling, in the middle
there is no dwindling, in the end there is no division. This is the
order of the referred elongation.
A quiet scene in a laughter does not shine away.
Consider the climbing that circles and celebrating sees the outline.
Consider that and measure, measure and receive the carmine. Consider no
smoke, consider no orange, consider no flower, consider no clambering
creeper, consider no outburst and no incline, consider no silence.
Capable of a recital, inches of inside measure, all the western window
wet and no smoke settling, all this and a hurricane, is a flight simple,
it is not babyish, it is not surgical.
The proposition is that a certain relation between the merit which is
and the merit which is is that which pertains to a master line. The
presence is that that which is the region is not only a realm it is a
preliminary. All this shows in shadow and in shouting there is silence
and a celebrity. All this shows in wounding and in loving all the mound.
All this shows a widening and excessively excessive round.
