A brief search into some of the text displayed in the screenshot reveals that this page contains part of the text of "**Eiketsu no Asa**" (永訣の朝; roughly "The Morning of a Final Farewell"; [text](http://ww8.tiki.ne.jp/~takam/bungaku/eiketu.htm); [a reading](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkjJm_w_WpM)), a poem by [Kenji MIYAZAWA](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_Miyazawa)1. "Eiketsu no Asa" is part of his first published collection, *Haru to Shura* (春と修羅; *Spring and Asura*).

In what may prove to be a bit of foreshadowing, "Eiketsu no Asa" was written on the occasion of the untimely death of Kenji's younger sister, Toshi.
