The Master and Margarita
From the album “Watercolors by Gennady Kalinovskiy”
Then everyone saw that it was no ghost at all, but Ivan Nikolaevich Bezdomny—the most famous poet. He was barefoot, in a torn whitish shirt, to which was pinned with a safety pin a paper icon with the effaced image of an unknown saint, and in striped white underpants. In his hand, Ivan Nikolaevich carried a lighted wedding candle. It is difficult to even measure the depth of the silence that reigned on the veranda. It was visible that beer was flowing from one of the waiters' crooked mugs onto the floor.
(Pay attention: Ivanushka is being stared down by the pirate Archibald Archibaldovich)
