Geography and Plays

by Gertrude Stein

The distaste for cold meat does not lead to eating. It leads to everything. This is not all of a feeling. It is enough to suggest any little thing.

The way to thank is to respect the whole opening and the way to despise one apple is to choose another. This can be done by weighing. It can also be done by looking.

The way to use a quotation is to hope that it will be heard when it is spoken. That is the way to make that sound.

It is not the same that which is not sad with that which is repeated. It is not the same and the sight is so different that there is that hope and no more excitement. Then the change is there and there is all the comparison. The rising of the wedding is not the same as one child if there are no children but one child has that to use and there is enough to give it a cold. This is not seasonable. This is not the way to despair.

The heat of hearing is not the silence of answering and nothing is produced when the question is the same as the name. That is one way to answer and there might have been more but it was different, it was the same.

The whole district was not used when a place was borrowed and the pleasure in that union is the same as giving permission. The hope of that intention is what keeps the answer from being prepared and if it is prepared then it is printed. There is enough intermission.

To cause a special heat and to be colder is not the way of having any custom. There is no irregularity in that. It is too plain. The time for that grief is not in the head it is in the origin of salvation. So there has come to be no neglect and there does not waste any order when the time which is all day is the same time and if not older then not that difference in spending. It is not all the same if nothing is spent. It is not all the same because then there are all the things there that have come to be gotten by searching and finding something. This which happens often uses the time that is not plain to see. It is not so discouraging and the whole thing is not so full as it would be if there was not another. The resemblance is there.

There is no paint when there is nothing to dirty. There is never any change in that and the silence is not there when it is empty and there is no intention to show more than enough. All the time there is the exact way of changing it a little and not mixing more and that is not the origin of industry, the origin of industry is the evening of recitation. There is some past playing of singing every past evening. This is not more than the future.

A pleasing way to use a broom is to lean upon the wall and not do more than make any one who is the one welcome. This if it is pleasing is pleasing and working is industry. That does not change everything. Intending to remove the dirt does not destroy the variegated color. The color is not a stain. It shows what glass is when there is a reflection. This peaceable pursuit is so earnest and so steady that there is no remark made when all the time there is that description and the way is that way as there is what is said as the way that is that way. The door is not so open.

It was not dark and the weather was not clear and the sunshine was not gloomy and the color was not red, it was not dusty and the window was not open and the stove was not shut and the table was set. There was no pepper and there was some salt and there was more chicken and there was more sweet. There was cauliflower and there was cake and there was no steamer and there was butter and there was potato and there was cucumber. There was no cream and there was banana and there was cream later and there was orange mixture. All the potato that was eaten had been roasted and the pigeons were kept and the fruit was finished and there was another platter.
