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