The Master and Margarita
From the album “Drawings by Alexander Kostin ”

Margarita dreamed of an unknown place—hopeless and bleak, under the overcast sky of early spring. She dreamed of this tattered, scudding gray sky, and beneath it a silent flock of rooks. Everything around was somehow lifeless and so dreary that it made one want to hang oneself from that aspen by the little bridge.
