Can someone help me?
I am trying to establish the provenance of a quote that is widely attributed to Kafka. Here it is:
“You don’t need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Don’t even listen, simply wait. Don’t even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.”
Does anyone know if Kafka said/wrote these words? If so, where?
Many thanks.,
Carl (carl@carl.demon.co.uk)
