SILK / In Time of Circumstance Upon his silkworm journey to Japan a woman made such a strong impression on a man, so though he was married he made love to this woman with no hesitations and yet he professed to love his wife. The women with which he made love gave him a message upon his departure that he had translated upon his return. The message was "Come back or I shall die." This message though written on paper was burning in his heart, stirring up his thoughts and giving him desires to return to Japan. Upon the day he returned he found himself in the middle of a feudal war in which he nearly died and searched for her to no avail. Returning home he found in his absence he had received a letter from her in the mail. Upon translation within the letter their love story she did tell and each part of the love story he remembered well. Some years passed and his sickly wife grew weary and died, and though he claimed to love her he couldn't cry. Later he found out the reason why his wife had become sickly and died. His wife had the letter translated and wished she could be that women who's love her husband shared and she died of a broken heart caused by the man for whom she had cared.

Very sad story James. Takes two to love. It ain't no one way street. Well related though James and it peaked my interest to see the movie. Take care Eric |
