Franz Kafka : What Do I Know Of Yours?

 A Drawing by Franz Kafka (The Thinker, 1913)

We are as forlorn as children lost in the woods.

When you stand in front of me and look at me,

what do you know of the griefs that are in me

and what do I know of yours?

And if I were to cast myself down before you

and weep and tell you,

what more would you know about me

than you know about Hell when someone tells you

it is hot and dreadful?

For that reason alone

we human beings ought to stand before one another

as reverently, as reflectively, as lovingly,

as we would before the entrance to Hell.

~ Franz Kafka
