И някои от тези начини са поразително странни. Франц Кафка , разочарован от условията, в които живее, и от дневната си работа, пише в писмо до Феличе Бауер през 1912 г.: "Времето е малко, силите ми са ограничени, в службата се чувствам ужасно, апартаментът е шумен и ако не е възможно животът на човек да бъде ... |

As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in Taschen's Library of Esoterica ... |
