- The increasingly philosophic poet Gertrude Stein seems to have influenced the increasingly poetic philosopher Martin Heidegger, stylistically & thematically.
"One knows what effect that one wants to produce to that one, to any one, in that one existing, in the daily living that one has for living. That one does not feel that one as a finished thing, that one works from something that one is knowing pretty quickly to something that one has been not really knowing and then that comes to be to that one a known thing and then that one sticks there in that thing. That one does not want to be conspicuous in living but does want to be intelligent and elegant. This then is a personal ideal, that that one has for daily living and so this one has feeling of being always creating all the daily living, the being in that one, really that one is going from something that one has been knowing to something that one has not quite been certainly knowing and sticks there in that thing." -Gertrude Stein
"What gives us food for thought ever and again is the most thought-provoking. We take the gift it gives by giving thought to what is most thought-provoking. In doing so, we keep thinking what is most thought-provoking. We recall it in thought. Thus we recall in thought that to which we owe thanks for the endowment of our nature-thinking. As we give thought to what is most thought-provoking, we give thanks. To the most thought-provoking we devote our thinking of what is-to-be-thought. But this devoted thought is not something that we ourselves produce and bring along, to repay gift with gift. When we think what is most thought-provoking, we then give thought to what this most thought-provoking matter itself gives us to think about." -Martin Heidegger
A great unacknowledged genius.
Unacknowledged only in this post-literate epoch, which McLuhan warned my generation was coming. From the time she moved to France in 1903 until her death in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1946, she was a central figure in the Parisian art world and literary advisor to such greats as Papa Hemingway. She was popular with American servicemen in France. She stylistically, as demonstrated in the above text box, influenced the English language articulate Heidegger. I could go on. If you can stand a bit of text-to-speech:

How is she not acknowledged?
makes more sense listening than reading ; beautiful to hear the prose
Gertrude Stein ! " Critical Essays on Gertrude Stein " please read this great book . Thankyou !
Lew Welch loved this book. Lew!
I read most of the Maķing of Americans many years ago. I loved how it sounded but I can't say I actually underdtood it.
She brainwashed many many women, and men, load of nonsense. Sounds like a feminist
Listen again and again and again . Read "Critical Essays on Gertrude Stein " by Hoffman. This book opens your eyes to Stein . Thanks
Gobbledegook!

Unfortunately just as painful as the written version. I was hoping the oft-cited "hypnotic effect" of the endless repetitions would somehow come across, but no.
I'm 75 & have dug her since 1967. Never heard or read of any hypnotic effect (can you site sources?); suspect that your preconceived imagining of such an effect is part of what's preventing her coming across. She was literary advisor to the likes of Hemingway, but wasn't a hypnotist or guru. Everybody knows that a rose is a rose. But not everybody knows that a rose is a rose is a rose; i.e. everybody is aware, but not everybody is aware that they're aware. Check out the film Midnight in Paris. Kathy Bates got her perfectly. Stein was one of those people (LIKE MYSELF) who think that words can be fun as well as functional.
@@watchfuleagleson Looks like YT doesn't allow posting links anymore, but a Google search for "The Making of Americans hypnotic" yields a bunch of results.
I was specifically referring to that book and especially its final chapters, I don't know any of her other works.
Her voice was kinder to the ears than her face and figure were to the eyes.
I would think her written words were what mattered.
Spoken like a shallow superficial twat.
she was a lesbian kirk i dont think she would have cared
What an idiotic thing to write.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought it was a man so looked her up on yt. 🤷🏾♀️ Sorry, my bad!
