More than just a show...

Jiro had to recite a poem in the drama which triggered me to google. The whole poem is too long for an entry...so you may want to read the beautiful piece here! =)

Stray Birds
By Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

1
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.

2
O troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.

3
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.

4
It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.

....

325
Release me from my unfulfilled past clinging to me from behind making death difficult.

326
Let this be my last word, that I trust in thy love.
