#&$$^=-¨¨¨ a student at the charcoal guild... his ¨¨¨-=^$$&#

$$^=-¨¨¨¨¨ successful student ¨¨¨¨¨-=^$$
$^=-¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨-=^$
^=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ but one day he fell down into a crystal ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=^
=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ cavern. it was deep in the mountain, a ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=
-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ great hall with only a single tiny ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-
=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ inlet for both light and falling ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=

$^=-¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨-=^$
$$^=-¨¨¨¨¨ in the fall, the quartz sliced off the ¨¨¨¨¨-=^$$
&$$^=-¨¨¨¨ threads in his eyes, opening them for ¨¨¨¨-=^$$&
#&$$^=-¨¨¨ the first time. before him, the ¨¨¨-=^$$&#
##&$$^=-¨¨ crystals mirrored and refracted the one ¨¨-=^$$&##
###&$$^=-¨ light smidge into a whole night sky, ¨-=^$$&###
####&$$^=- and he was struck down with awe -=^$$&####
###&$$^=-¨ ¨-=^$$&###
##&$$^=-¨¨ but also with shame, because his eyes ¨¨-=^$$&##
#&$$^=-¨¨¨ had seen. hurriedly, he used thread ¨¨¨-=^$$&#
&$$^=-¨¨¨¨ from his robe to sew them back ¨¨¨¨-=^$$&
$$^=-¨¨¨¨¨ together, and when help came he did not ¨¨¨¨¨-=^$$
$^=-¨¨¨¨¨¨ tell of his transgression. ¨¨¨¨¨¨-=^$
^=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=^
=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ for years he studied at the guild. he ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=
-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ became a master, and then a pilgrim. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-
=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ yet the image from the cave never left ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=
^=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ him. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=^
$^=-¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨-=^$
$$^=-¨¨¨¨¨ at the end of his life, when at the ¨¨¨¨¨-=^$$
&$$^=-¨¨¨¨ edge of the world he opened his eyes ¨¨¨¨-=^$$&
#&$$^=-¨¨¨ for a second time, stars had hatched in ¨¨¨-=^$$&#
