¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-- but one day he fell down into a crystal --¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨--:* *:--¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨--: but also with shame, because his eyes :--¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-- had seen. hurriedly, he used thread --¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨- from his robe to sew them back -¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ together, and when help came he did not ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ tell of his transgression. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ for years he studied at the guild. he ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ became a master, and then a pilgrim. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ yet the image from the cave never left ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ him. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ at the end of his life, when at the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
