Franz Kafka’s signature in a letter to Milena Jesenská.  It reads:

Franz wrong, F wrong, Yours wrong/ nothing more calm, deep forest. 

Prague, July 29, 1920.

Letters to Milena. Franz Kafka, trans. Philip Boehm. New York: Schocken Books, 1990.

Kafka and Jesenská met twice: once in Vienna for four days, and in Gmünd for one. Kafka gave her his diaries at the end of his life.
