Too like the lightning which doth cease to be
Ere one can say it lightens.”

question is a question and so why add to it the
question mark when it is already there when the
question is already there in the writing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

Even themselves or for themselves.
Dullness best solves
The tease and doubt of shelling,”
