Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"


A little lameness is a stern name for an excuse.
What is lively. That which radium advances and porches close and lynx
eyes shudder. It is a gloom and entrancing is captivating.
The example, the only example is mistaken and a murmur, it is jotted and
likened to more special reductions.
A tall scale, a sour glass, a tight stretch, an even table, a celebrated
circus and a melodion, these and many more mistakes have no attributes,
they are careless.
The reason why running is no exercise is that when the heat is hot there
is no borrowing and when it is not there is no refuse.
A leaning left and a lounge in might, a thorough rest and a pleasing
rib, a rate that shows thoroughly, this is more logical.
That which when the local which is color and the local which is butter
and the local which is a mask and color and the local which is a
decoration and a platter, that which when the local spectacle is traded
away for something established to be regular and surprising and
unwillling, that which is the scene of an auction is the time when a
name is stronger and old age which is fifty is sixty.
A blessing is that which when the time is one minute shorter and the
disappearance is extraordinary and not continuous a blessing is that
which when there is a tender waiter shows no increase in haste.
A language traded for tobacco, a language even traded for more corn than
ever was changed to be no sweeter than candy and sugar, a language
traded for tobacco and very likely for anything not used in any original
occupation, a language that is so fit to be seen exasperated and reduced
and even particular, a language like that has the whole rake that makes
the grass that is green smell green.
