Much Later
by Gertrude Stein (1874-1946)
Elephants and birds of beauty and a gold fish. Gold fish or a
superstition. They always bring bad luck. He had them and he
was not told. Gold fish and he was not old. Gold fish and he was
not to scold. Gold fish all told. The result was that the other
people never had them and he knows nothing of it.
