Tender Buttons [A Little Called Pauline]

By: Gertrude Stein

A little called anything shows shudders.

Come and say what print all day.

A whole few watermelon.

There is no pope.

No cut in pennies and little dressing and choose wide soles and little spats really little spices.

A little lace makes boils.

This is not true.

Gracious of gracious and a stamp a blue green white bow a blue green lean, lean on the top.

If it is absurd then it is leadish and nearly set in where there is a tight head.

A peaceful life to arise her, noon and moon and moon.

A letter a cold sleeve a blanket a shaving house and nearly the best and regular window.

Nearer in fairy sea, nearer and farther, show white has lime in sight,

show a stitch of ten.

Count, count more so that thicker and thicker is leaning.

I hope she has her cow.

Bidding a wedding, widening received treading, little leading mention nothing.

Cough out cough out in the leather and really feather it is not for.

Please could, please could, jam it not plus more sit in when.
