The Master and Margarita
From the album “Watercolors by Enrico Riposati”
When he finally opened his eyes properly, he saw that the sea was roaring, and even more than that, a wave was swaying at his very feet, and that, in short, he was sitting at the very end of a pier, and that below him was the blue, sparkling sea, and behind him was a beautiful city on the mountains. Not knowing what to do in such cases, Styopa rose to his trembling feet and walked along the pier towards the shore.
