Selected Writings of Gertrude Stein

by Gertrude Stein

  Put it in the stew, put it to shame. A little slight shadow and a solid fine furnace.

  The teasing is tender and trying and thoughtful.

  The line which sets sprinkling to be a remedy is beside the best cold.

  A puzzle, a monster puzzle, a heavy choking, a neglected Tuesday.

  Wet crossing and a likeness, any likeness, a likeness has blisters, it has that and teeth, it has the staggering blindly and a little green, any little green is ordinary.

  One, two and one, two, nine, second and five and that.

  A blaze, a search in between, a cow, only any wet place, only this tune.

  Cut a gas jet uglier and then pierce pierce in between the next and negligence. Choose the rate to pay and pet pet very much. A collection of all around, a signal poison, a lack of languor and more hurts at ease.

  A white bird, a colored mine, a mixed orange, a dog.

  Cuddling comes in continuing a change.

  A piece of separate outstanding rushing is so blind with open delicacy.

  A canoe is orderly. A period is solemn. A cow is accepted.

  A nice old chain is widening, it is absent, it is laid by.

  CRANBERRIES

  Could there not be a sudden date, could there not be in the present settlement of old age pensions, could there not be by a witness, could there be.

  Count the chain, cut the grass, silence the noon and murder flies. See the basting undip the chart, see the way the kinds are best seen from the rest, from that and untidy.

  Cut the whole space into twenty-four spaces and then and then is there a yellow color, there is but it is smelled, it is then put where it is and nothing stolen.

  A remarkable degree of red means that, a remarkable exchange is made.

  Climbing altogether in when there is a solid chance of soiling no more than a dirty thing, coloring all of it in steadying is jelly.

  Just as it is suffering, just as it is succeeded, just as it is moist so is there no countering.

  MILK

  A white egg and a colored pan and a cabbage showing settlement, a constant increase.

  A cold in a nose, a single cold nose makes an excuse. Two are more necessary.

  All the goods are stolen, all the blisters are in the cup.

  Cooking, cooking is the recognition between sudden and nearly sudden very little and all large holes.

  A real pint, one that is open and closed and in the middle is so bad.

  Tender colds, seen eye holders, all work, the best of change, the meaning, the dark red, all this and bitten, really bitten.

  Guessing again and golfing again and the best men, the very best men.

  MILK

  Climb up in sight climb in the whole utter needles and a guess a whole guess is hanging. Hanging hanging.

  EGGS

  Kind height, kind in the right stomach with a little sudden mill.

  Cunning shawl, cunning shawl to be steady.

  In white in white handkerchiefs with little dots in a white belt all shadows are singular they are singular and procured and relieved.

  No that is not the cows shame and a precocious sound, it is a bite.

  Cut up alone the paved way which is harm. Harm is old boat and a likely dash.

  APPLE

  Apple plum, carpet steak, seed clam, colored wine, calm seen, cold cream, best shake, potato, potato and no no gold work with pet, a green seen is called bake and change sweet is bready, a little piece a little piece please.

  A little piece please. Cane again to the presupposed and ready eucalyptus tree, count out sherry and ripe plates and little corners of a kind of ham. This is use.

  TAILS

  Cold pails, cold with joy no joy.

  A tiny seat that means meadows and a lapse of cuddles with cheese and nearly bats, all this went messed. The post placed a loud loose sprain. A rest is no better. It is better yet. All the time.

  LUNCH

  Luck in loose plaster makes holy gauge and nearly that, nearly more states, more states come in town light kite, blight not white.

  A little lunch is a break in skate a little lunch so slimy, a west end of a board line is that which shows a little beneath so that necessity is a silk under wear. That is best wet. It is so natural, and why is there flake, there is flake to explain exhaust.

  A real cold hen is nervous is nervous with a towel with a spool with real beads. It is mostly an extra sole nearly all that shaved, shaved with an old mountain, more than that bees more than that dinner and a bunch of likes that is to say the hearts of onions aim less.

  Cold coffee with a corn a corn yellow and green mass is a gem.

  CUPS

  A single example of excellence is in the meat. A bent stick is surging and might all might is mental. A grand clothes is searching out a candle not that wheatly not that by more than an owl and a path. A ham is proud of cocoanut.

  A cup is neglected by being all in size. It is a handle and meadows and sugar any sugar.

  A cup is neglected by being full of size. It shows no shade, in come little wood cuts and blessing and nearly not that not with a wild bought in, not at all so polite, not nearly so behind.

  Cups crane in. They need a pet oyster, they need it so hoary and nearly choice. The best slam is utter. Nearly be freeze.

  Why is a cup a stir and a behave. Why is it so seen.

  A cup is readily shaded, it has in between no sense that is to say music, memory, musical memory.

  Peanuts blame, a half sand is holey and nearly.

  RHUBARB

  Rhubarb is susan not susan not seat in bunch toys not wild and laughable not in little places not in neglect and vegetable not in fold coal age not please.

  SINGLE FISH

  Single fish single fish single fish egg-plant single fish sight.

  A sweet win and not less noisy than saddle and more ploughing and nearly well painted by little things so.

  Please shade it a play. It is necessary and beside the large sort is puff.

  Every way oakly, please prune it near. It is so found.

  It is not the same.

  CAKE

  Cake cast in went to be and needles wine needles are such.

  This is to-day. A can experiment is that which makes a town, makes a town dirty, it is little please. We came back. Two bore, bore what, a mussed ash, ash when there is tin. This meant cake. It was a sign.

  Another time there was extra a hat pin sought long and this dark made a display. The result was yellow. A caution, not a caution to be.

  It is no use to cause a foolish number. A blanket stretch a cloud, a shame, all that bakery can tease, all that is beginning and yesterday yesterday we had it met. It means some change. No some day.

  A little leaf upon a scene an ocean any where there, a bland and likely in the stream a recollection green land. Why white.

  CUSTARD

  Custard is this. It has aches, aches when. Not to be. Not to be narrowly. This makes a whole little hill.

  It is better than a little thing that has mellow real mellow. It is better than lakes whole lakes, it is better than seeding.

  POTATOES

  Real potatoes cut in between.

  POTATOES

  In the preparation of cheese, in the preparation of crackers, in the preparation of butter, in it.

  ROAST POTATOES

  Roast potatoes for.

  ASPARAGUS

  Asparagus in a lean in a lean to hot. This makes it art and it is wet wet weather wet weather wet.

  BUTTER

  Boom in boom in, butter. Leave a grain and show it, show it. I spy.

  It is a need it is a need that a flower a state flower. It is a need that a state rubber. It is a need that a state rubber is sweet and sight and a swelled stretch. It is a need. It is a need that state rubber.

  Wood a supply. Clean little keep a strange, estrange on it.

  Make a little white, no and not with pit, pit on in within.

  SALAD DRESSING AND AN ARTICHOKE

  Please pale hot, please cover rose, please acre in the red stranger, please butter all the beef-steak with regular feel faces.

  SALAD DRESSING AND AN ARTICHOKE

  It was please it was please carriage cup in an ice-cream, in an ice-cream it was too bended bended with scissors and all this time. A whole is inside a part, a part does go away, a hole is red leaf. No choice was where there was and a second and a second.

  A CENTRE IN A TABLE

  It was a way a day, this made some sum. Suppose a cod liver a cod liver is an oil, suppose a cod liver oil is tunny, suppose a cod liver oil tunny is pressed suppose a cod liver oil tunny pressed is china and secret with a bestow a bestow reed, a reed to be a reed to be, in a reed to be.

  Next to me next to a folder, next to a folder some waiter, next to a foldersome waiter and re letter and read her. Read her with her for less.

  Rooms

  Act so that there is no use in a centre. A wide action is not a width. A preparation is given to the ones preparing. They do not eat who mention silver and sweet. There was an occupation.

  A whole centre and a border make hanging a way of dressing. This which is not why there is a voice is the remains of an offering. There was no rental.

  So the tune which is there has a little piece to play, and the exercise is all there is of a fast. Then tender and true that makes no width to hew is the time that there is question to adopt.

  To begin the placing there is no wagon. There is no change lighter. It was done. And then the spreading, that was not accomplishing that needed standing and yet the time was not so difficult as they were not all in place. They had no change. They were not respected. They w
ere that, they did it so much in the matter and this showed that that settlement was not condensed. It was spread there. Any change was in the ends of the centre. A heap was heavy. There was no change.

  Burnt and behind and lifting a temporary stone and lifting more than a drawer.

  The instance of there being more is an instance of more. The shadow is not shining in the way there is a black line. The truth has come. There is a disturbance. Trusting to a baker’s boy meant that there would be very much exchanging and anyway what is the use of a covering to a door. There is a use, they are double.

  If the centre has the place then there is distribution. That is natural. There is a contradiction and naturally returning there comes to be both sides and the centre. That can be seen from the description.
