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