A ROSE IS A ROSE IS ROSE

A rose is a rose is a rose

Gertrud Stein

Now listen! I’m no fool.

I know that in daily life we don't go around

saying 'is a ... is a ... is a ...'

Yes, I’m no fool;

but I think that in that line

the rose is red for the first time

in English poetry for a hundred years

Gertrud Stein
