,,-†$&#### naftakin, the blind ####&$†-,,
,,,,,†$&## ,,,†,,, ##&$†,,,,,
,,-†$&#### ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### a student at the charcoal guild... his ####&$†-,,
,,,,,,†&## eyes sewn shut from birth... the most ##&†,,,,,,
,,-†$&#### successful student ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### but one day he fell down into a crystal ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### cavern. it was deep in the mountain, a ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&&### great hall with only a single tiny ###&&$†-,,
,,,,-†$### inlet for both light and falling ###$†-,,,,
,,-†$&#### students... ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### ####&$†-,,
,,,---$### in the fall, the quartz sliced off the ###$---,,,
,,-†$&#### threads in his eyes, opening them for ####&$†-,,
,,-†$##### the first time. before him, the #####$†-,,
,,-†$&#### crystals mirrored and refracted the one ####&$†-,,
,,,--††$## light smidge into a whole night sky, ##$††--,,,
,,,,-$&&## and he was struck down with awe ##&&$-,,,,
,,-†$&#### ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### but also with shame, because his eyes ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### had seen. hurriedly, he used thread ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### from his robe to sew them back ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### together, and when help came he did not ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### tell of his transgression. ####&$†-,,
,,,,,,,†$# #$†,,,,,,,
,,-†$&#### for years he studied at the guild. he ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### became a master, and then a pilgrim. ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### yet the image from the cave never left ####&$†-,,
,,,,,-†$## him. ##$†-,,,,,
,,,,†††&## ##&†††,,,,
,,-†$##### at the end of his life, when at the #####$†-,,
,,-†$&#### edge of the world he opened his eyes ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### for a second time, stars had hatched in ####&$†-,,
,,-†$&#### them... ####&$†-,,
