kafka and rilke

john, as you know from the footnote in 'letters to
felice', rilke was an avid fan of kafka's work.

however, in joachim unseld's 'franz kafka: a writer's
life', he quotes more of that february 1922 letter
from rilke to wolff. (perhaps you already know this
book.) rilke also said in that letter that there was
no word of kafka's which did not move and strangely
concern him [rilke]. (an approximation i'm afraid.)

unfortunately, there is no mention of what kafka
thought of rilke's work (at least that i can find).

too bad those two old praguers didn't ever meet. (i
guess munich 1916 would have been the mostly like
chance.)
