Tender Buttons [Milk], by Gertrude Stein

A white egg and a colored pan and a cabbage 
   showing settlement, a constant increase.

A cold in a nose, a single cold nose makes an excuse. 
   Two are more necessary.

All the goods are stolen, all the blisters are in the cup.

Cooking, cooking is the recognition between sudden 
   and nearly sudden very little and all large holes.

A real pint, one that is open and closed and in the 
   middle is so bad.

Tender colds, seen eye holders, all work, the best of 
   change, the meaning, the dark red, all this and 
   bitten, really bitten.

Guessing again and golfing again and the best men, 
   the very best men.
