Why Do Something If It Can Be Done: Quoting Gertrude Stein # 97

Posted on June 27, 2013 by admin

A VERY GAY HEAVENLY WEDDING AND A PRIZE QUESTION! (see below)

Alice to Gertrude: “What took them so long?”

Gertrude to Alice: “What is marriage, is marriage protection or religion, is marriage renunciation or abundance, is marriage a stepping-stone or an end. What is marriage.”

Sources: Renate Stendhal, Gertrude Stein in Words and Pictures; Gertrude Stein, Last Operas and Plays. Can you guess whose TRÈS CHIC wedding dress Alice is wearing? The first 2 successful sleuths will get my book!
