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