July 27, 1914: Kafka struggles to eat a peach

Ate rice à la Trautmannsdorf and a peach. A man drinking wine watched my attempts to cut the unripe little peach with my knife. I couldn’t. Stricken with shame under the old man’s eyes, I let the peach go completely and ten times leafed through Die Fliegenden Blätter. I waited to see if he wouldn’t at last turn away. Finally I collected all my strength and in defiance of him bit into the completely juiceless and expensive peach.

#oh fuck I almost missed the bad peach day #franz kafka #kafka

“When Max Brod complained to Kafka that there were too many mad protagonists in Dostoevsky’s novels, Kafka disagreed vehemently. Their illness, Kafka argued, was a way to make visible their inner terror. Many of Dostoevsky’s characters may well be either insane or diseased, but their ‘dis-ease’ must be understood as a consequence of their sensitivity to the absurdity and hopelessness of human existence.”

— The Idiot, Introduction and Notes by Agnès Cardinal (Wordsworth Classics)

i wish i had my copy of kafka’s diaries with me because every entry goes something like this:

Sunday. I woke up in great pain and coughed up blood. Had coffee. Later I went to the theatre and a woman looked at me, but I could not make eye contact because I am repulsive. I am full of terror. I wish Goethe was alive because only he truly understood me.

Peculiar Diary Entries Of Franz Kafka.

“The sight of stairs moves me so today.”
“So much light and so empty.”
“It is no ordinary bird that flies out of a chimney.”
“The village square abandoned to the night.”
“The silhouette of a man, his arms half-raised at different levels, confronts the thick mist in order to enter it.”
“The remarkable light of the summer evening together with the nocturnal emptiness of the bridge.”
“Between throat and chin would seem to be the most rewarding place to stab.”
“I believe them both and I love them both, or try to.”
“The evil spirits gain entry into a person who drinks out of an imperfect glass.”
“…and in the meantime it is all over with me.”

“Please — consider me a dream.”

— Franz Kafka; ‘Once while visiting his friend Max Brod, young Kafka awakened Brod’s father, who was asleep on a couch. Instead of apologizing, Kafka gently montioned him to relax, advanced through the room on tiptoe, and said softly: “Please – consider me a dream.”’ from Franz Kafka (Franz Baumer) (via auroses)
