,&,&,&,&,& ,,,=,,, &,&,&,&,,&
,&,&,&,&,& &,&,&,&,&&
,&,&,&,&,& 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... &,&,&,&,&&
