The night, the pharmacy, the street...

Illustration inspired by Alexander Blok's poetry. I found the translation of it into English, don't know, how accurate is it.
And yes, I know, that some people gonna be like "This drawing is not historically accurate! I see other picture in my head, you did bad job, artist!" and etc., but I wasn't going to make it as it was in real life, I had this picture in my head of a modern street and drew this drawing. I wanted to draw environment from imagination and to share experience, so when someone look at this drawing would think "Wow, it looks hopeless". Drawing from imagination.

"The night, the pharmacy, the street,
The pointless lamppost in the mist.
A quarter century recedes –
There’s no escape. It all persists.
You’ll die – and you’ll begin anew,
As in the past, all will repeat:
The icy channel flowing through,
The lamp, the pharmacy, the street." (с) October 12, 1912; Translation from someone of Alexander Blok.
