the blue notebooks

• kafka'nın the blue octavo notebooks'undan bir alıntı olan sözleri şöyledir:
  
  "everyone carries a room about inside them. this fact can be proved by means of the sense of hearing. if someone walks fast and one pricks up one's ears and listens, say at night, when everything round about is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall."
