Paragraphs from Stein, 14

Some know very well that their way of living is a sad one. Some know that their way of living is a dreary thing. Some know very well that their way of being living is a tedious one. Some know very well that they are living in a very dull way of living. Some do not know that a way of living is a tedious one. Some do not know that a way of living is a sad one. Some do not know that a way of living is a dreary way of living. Some do not know that one way of living is a dull one.

fr. "Flirting at the Bon Marche"
c. 1910-1912

This is actually brilliant. his repetition of "Some know very well that" really puts across the dreariness of a potentially very dull way of living - over and over again the same, and emphasises the despair of being unable to get out.
