The Master and Margarita
From the album “Watercolors by Gennady Kalinovskiy”
“She carried in her hands some repulsive, disturbing yellow flowers. The devil knows what they're called, but for some reason, they are the first to appear in Moscow. And these flowers stood out very distinctly against her black spring coat. Thousands of people were walking along Tverskaya, but I guarantee you, she saw me alone and looked not so much troubled as even pained. And I was struck not so much by her beauty as by the extraordinary, never-before-seen loneliness in her eyes!”
