 SHE REFUSES TO GIVE UP THE COSMOS

E'VE taken up Gertrude Stein—our Little Group of Serious Thinkers, you know—and she's wonderful; simply wonderful.

She Suggests the Inexpressible, you know.

Of course, she is a Pioneer. And with all Pioneers—don't you think—the Reach is greater than the Grasp.

Not that you can tell what she means.

But in the New Art, one doesn't have to mean things, does one? One strikes the chords, and the chords vibrate.

Aren't Vibrations just too perfectly lovely for anything?

The loveliest man talked to us the other night about World Movements and Cosmic Vibrations.

You see, every time the Cosmos vibrates it means a new World Movement.

And the Souls that are in Tune with the Cosmos are benefited by these World Movements. The other souls will get harm out of them.

Frightfully interesting, isn't it?—the Cosmos, I mean. [157]
