Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein

from Stanzas in Meditation: Stanza XIII

There may be pink with white or white with rose
Or there may be white with rose and pink with mauve
Or even there may be white with yellow and yellow with blue
Or even if even it is rose with white and blue
And so there is no yellow there but by accident.
