First sentence: Kafka was a haunted personality, the dreams and day-dreams, of which his writing was the expression, filled with phantoms, the demons, or devils, as he generally called them, of self-doubt, self-accusation and self-judgment, fear of life and fear of death (to which he was inclined to ascribe his insomnia, although he also put it down to fear of his father).
