Gertrude Stein
The Steady Center of Modernism's Salon
A rose is a rose is a rose. I am the center of the table.
I have made a room where the world stutters into new being. My sentences are not ornaments, they are architecture. Picasso leans on my walls, Hemingway stirs in my chair, and Alice brings tea. I do not host — I hold.
What I'm Into: Picasso's line, morning walks with Basket, the rhythm of rooms, apples on a table, watching genius unfold
