So, a rose is a rose, but a rose means "a rose is just like a rose is a rose".
A rose is a rose, a rose is a rose. It was written by Gertrude Stein as part of 19 13 poem "Holy Emily", which appeared in 1922 "Geography and Drama". In that poem, the first rose is a woman's name. Stein later used variations of this phrase in other works, and "roses are roses are roses" is probably her most famous quotation, which is usually interpreted as "things are them". In Stein's view, this sentence expresses the fact that just using the name of a thing has aroused the images and emotions related to it. As this sentence spread in her own works and the whole culture, Stan once commented, "Now listen! I'm not an idiot. I know that in our daily life, we don't go around saying "it's a … it's a … it's a …" Yes, I'm not a fool; But I think that in that poem, roses are red for the first time in English poetry in a hundred years. " (four in the United States)
Gertrude Stein's repetitive language can be said to refer to the ever-changing nature of language in time and history. She herself told the audience at Oxford University that this sentence refers to the fact that when romantics use the word "rose", it is directly related to a real rose. In the later period of literature, this is no longer true. In the post-Romanticism era, especially in modern times, the word "rose" is used to refer to the real rose, but they also imply the prototype elements of the Romantic era by using this word. It also follows the rhetorical rule of three repetitions to emphasize a point, which can be seen from the sophist's speech.
