Dimanche chez Gertrude

Composition as explanation by Gertrude Stein for your Sunday reading, hopefully accompanied by a blowing wind, a warm cardigan and a good kettle where ever you are.

“Poor Miss Mary. Struggling was not a thing for her to do. Anna would surely yield if she would struggle, but struggling was too much work and too much worry for peaceful Miss Mary to endure. If Anna would do so she must.  Poor Miss Mary Wadsmith sighed, looked wisfully at Anna and then gave it up. ”

Three Lives. The Good Anna. Gertrude Stein.

It is reading Gertrude Stein weather. It is reading The Good Anna weather and trying not to miss every occurrence of always or should that be all every always occurrence.

It should be noted that this is reading The Good Anna and reading Three Lives for the first time for me.

I love the circular nature of it. within which the circular nature of the women’s work, instruction, rebounds
