Ömma Knappar "notwithstanding"
Äntligen en text av Gertude själv! Den är ganska vacker men man begriper inte mycket. Nå, den är i alla fall inte så upprepande som hennes texter annars utmärker sig för att vara. Ömma Knappar? Någon trodde sig förstå att det rörde sig om något sexigt, men Gertrude ville inte gå in på detaljer och absolut inte Alice!

A LIGHT IN THE MOON
by: Gertrude Stein (1874-1946)
LIGHT in the moon the only light is on Sunday. What was the sensible decision. The sensible decision was that notwithstanding many declarations and more music, not even withstanding the choice and a torch and a collection, notwithstanding the celebrating hat and a vacation and even more noise than cutting, notwithstanding Europe and Asia and being overbearing, not even notwithstanding an elephant and a strict occasion, not even withstanding more cultivation and some seasoning, not even with drowning and with the ocean being encircling, not even with more likeness and any cloud, not even with terrific sacrifice of pedestrianism and a special resolution, not even more likely to be pleasing. The care with which the rain is wrong and the green is wrong and the white is wrong, the care with which there is a chair and plenty of breathing. The care with which there is incredible justice and likeness, all this makes a magnificent asparagus, and also a fountain.
