Стансы в медитации

"Stansy v meditat͡sii", kak i drugoe tvorchestvo Gertrudy Staĭn (1874-1946), otlichaet radikalʹnoe novatorstvo, osnovannoe na i͡azykovoĭ igre, v chastnosti, na povtorakh odnogo i togo zhe slova ili slovosochetanii͡a, omonimakh, omofonakh, polisemii i na rifmakh, kotorye vmeste s neozhidannymi anzhambemanami polnostʹi͡u izmeni͡ai͡ut smysl predydushchego vyskazyvanii͡a. Za iskli͡ucheniem tochek, v "Stansakh" net znakov prepinanii͡a, prichem Gertruda Staĭn govorila: "Zachem stavitʹ voprositelʹnyĭ znak, esli i tak poni͡atno, chto ėto vopros". Sochinenie, po Staĭn, - ėto postoi͡annoe nachinanie, nachalo, kogda "vse pochti pokhozhe, ono dolzhno otlichatʹsi͡a i ono otlichaetsi͡a, estestvenno, chto vse ispolʹzuetsi͡a i estʹ prodolzhennoe nastoi͡ashchee i nachalo snova i snova, esli vse tak pokhozhe, ono dolzhno prosto otlichatʹsi͡a i vse prosto raznoe bylo estestvennym putem sozidanii͡a togda"

"Stanzas in Meditation", like other works by Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), is distinguished by radical innovation based on language play, in particular, on repetitions of the same word or phrase, homonyms, homophones, polysemy and rhymes, which, together with unexpected anjambemans, completely change the meaning of the previous utterance. With the exception of dots, there are no punctuation marks in the Stanzas, and Gertrude Stein said: "Why put a question mark if it's already clear that it's a question." Writing, according to Stein, is a constant undertaking, a beginning when "everything is almost similar, it should be different and it is different, it is natural that everything is used and there is a continued present and a beginning over and over again, if everything is so similar, it should just be different and everything is just different was the natural way of creation then"
