Gertrude Stein's Birthday

A rose is a rose is a rose....
how enraptured I was when I learned about Gertrude Stein.
Alice and Gertrude, poetry, art and the world of Paris.
Ex-patriot and patron of the arts.

I loved the way that she used language, although often I could not understand most of what I read. Then the layers began to melt away and I felt as much as read her writings.
Gertrude said, "America is my country, but Paris is my hometown".

Happy Birthday Gertrude.
