Franz Kafka Stories

The Trees

by Franz Kafka

Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir

For we are like tree trunks in the snow. In appearance they lie sleekly and a little push should be enough to set them rolling. No, it can't be done, for they are firmly wedded to the ground. But see, even that is only appearance.
