"Moscow-Petushki", "- And Friedrich Schiller ..."

Illustration for the poem "Moscow-Petushki" by Venedikt Erofeev.
"Esino - Fryazevo.
- And Friedrich Schiller - he not only died, he could not even live without champagne. Do you know how he wrote? He puts his feet in an ice bath, pours champagne - and writes. Drinks one glass - the whole act of tragedy is ready. Drinks five glasses - a whole tragedy is ready in five acts. "
