Did anyone ever make sense of the writings of Gloria Stienham?

Here is some interesting information I found on the internet relative to this saying:
The sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." was written by Gertrude Stein as part of the 1913 poem "Sacred Emily", which appeared in the 1922 book Geography and Plays. In that poem, the first "Rose" is the name of a person. Stein later used variations on the sentence in other writings, and "A rose is a rose is a rose" is among her most famous quotations, often interpreted as meaning [1] "things are what they are", a statement of the law of identity, "A is A."
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_is_a_rose_is_a_rose_is_a_rose
The line is from Gertrude Stein's poem Sacred Emily, written in 1913 and published in 1922, in Geography and Plays. The verbatim line is actually, 'Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose':
Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
Loveliness extreme.
Extra gaiters,
Loveliness extreme.
Sweetest ice-cream.

When asked what she meant by the line, Stein said that in the time of Homer, or of Chaucer, "the poet could use the name of the thing and the thing was really there." As memory took it over, the thing lost its identity, and she was trying to recover that - "I think in that line the rose is red for the first time in English poetry for a hundred years."

Thanks again for the vocabulary lesson and inspiring me to do a little more research---interesting. Have a nice day!

I too have film cameras that I use occasionally. I also use both outdated and new film. I have yet to have a bad experience with either---the outdated film I get is generally not too outdated. I particularly like to use SLR film cameras with manual focus, but occasionally use rangefinders. I also use simple digital cameras, a DSLR camera, and a smartphone camera. All are fun.

And some of the costliest most destructive of forest fires could have been prevented with some preventative thinning except for it being prevented by the tree-hugging liberals. They think they are "the enlightened ones" but ignore the fact that modern technology and developments can also be used to prevent and also to fight forest fires. I am appreciative of nature and most of my photography is of nature. Just as there have been advancements in photography there have also been advancements in forest management too.
Much of the demonstrations against tried and true management of forests by these "enlightened ones" had more to do with preventing their illegal grow operations of marijuana upon federal lands than forest management.
That being said THe US Forest service overall does a credible job even when their hands are tied behind them by liberal politicians.
We all need to be tolerant and work together to preserve nature for the future generations.
