“When you get to that point
there is no essential difference
between prose and poetry. This

With which your generation
Will have to wrestle. The thing
Has got to the point where
Poetry and prose have to
Concern themselves with
The static thing. This is up
To you.”—Gertrude Stein,

the betrayed rose—the third man rose
the Viennese rose—the zither rose
the contemporaneous rose—the immediate rose
the gutter rose—the anti-novel rose
the pouty rose—that never was
