"A Carafe, that is a Blind Glass." by Gertrude Stein


A CARAFE, THAT IS A BLIND GLASS.


A kind in glass and a cousin, a spectacle and nothing
strange  a single  hurt  color and an arrangement in a
system  to  pointing.  All  this  and  not  ordinary, not
unordered   in   not   resembling.   The  difference  is
spreading.




Source of the text - Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons.  New York: Claire Marie, 1914, page 9.

TJB: Spectacular-mundane. Inspired by still-life, this semi-cubist sketch teases at and denies a similarity between form and content. Or so it seems.
