I have heard Will Honeycomb say, A Woman seldom Writes her Mind but in her Postscript.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
A FEATHER. A feather is trimmed, it is trimmed by the light and the bug and the post, it is trimmed by little leaning and by all sorts of mounted reserves and loud volumes. It is surely cohesive.
Gertrude Stein
How I wish I were able to say what I think.
