Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Geography and Plays" by Gertrude Stein is a collection published in 1922. This experimental work contains the poem "Sacred Emily," famous for originating the line "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." Stein's enigmatic sentence explores how language invokes imagery and emotion, expressing what she saw as poetry's power to restore direct meaning to words. The phrase became one of literature's most quoted lines, endlessly interpreted, parodied, and debated by writers from Hemingway to Huxley.
