Daughter

Gertrude Stein

 Next Poem          

Why is the world at peace.
This may astonish you a little but when you realise how
easily Mrs. Charles Bianco sells the work of American
painters to American millionaires you will recognize that
authorities are constrained to be relieved. Let me tell you a
story. A painter loved a woman. A musician did not sing.
A South African loved books. An American was a woman
and needed help. Are Americans the same as incubators.
But this is the rest of the story. He became an authority.

    I remember coming across this poem years ago and being intrigued by its unique style. It kinda makes you think about society and how people interact with each other. Guess it still holds up today, even with those typos!
