Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein / With Two Shorter Stories

by Gertrude Stein

To direct everything so that what comes is coming is doing what one knowing what everything is and being directing can be doing. Succeeding in directing is something.

One who is one and is knowing what everything is could be directing and she is directing that is she is reasoning and being reasonably understanding what everything is can be directing so that what comes is coming. She being that one is rightly judging everything. She being that one and saying that to be always right she must be wrong quite often, she being that one and always being correct in judging and complete in knowing what everything is and reasonable in telling and firm in directing she is one and what comes is coming. She is one and knowing what everything is and being one clearly expressing that thing and firmly directing she is one curing what would need curing if she were not being the one directing that which she is directing which is certainly all of the two of them. She is the one knowing all of what everything is and directing what she is directing, and she is that one of the two of them and what comes is coming and she is directing, and she is correcting what is to be coming and she is knowing what everything is and reasonably telling and quite curing what might be needing curing if curing were needing to be continuing. She is quite that one. She is a lovely one. She is a directing one. She is a one knowing what everything is.

There are some who are succeeding in placing what they are placing, there are some who are marshalling all of what they are placing. There is one and she is directing all she is directing and she is succeeding in being and any of that being everything she is everything in failing.

She is that one. She had seven and she arranged that all of them would be all of them and that she was placing what she was placing.

She was sitting and sitting was not everything. She was sitting and she would be placing what she was placing when all of them had been all of them.

All of them were all of them. All of them had been all of them. They were coming all of them were coming, some of them were coming that all of them were not all of them. All of them were not coming. All of them were all of them.

She was sitting and when she was not leaving she was not remembering everything. When she did remember everything she was sitting and keeping what she had had when she was sitting.

In succeeding in continuing she had been succeeding in living and all of them were all of them and she was placing what she was placing and she was not coming to what she was coming and all of them were not coming to be all of them and they were then what they were then when not any of them were all of them and some of them might have been all of them.

She was one and she had what she had when she was coming to having been placing what she would have been placing if all of them being all of them all of them had been all and some of them had been all of them.

In not having what she was having and sitting she was receiving what she would be having if she had been having what she was having in placing what she was placing.
