@¶&@^=^¨¨¨ ¨¨¨^¨¨¨ ¨¨¨^=^@&¶@
¶&@^=^¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨^=^@&¶
@¶&@^=^¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨^=^@&¶@#

@¶&@^=^¨¨¨ IN THE FALL, THE QUARTZ SLICED OFF THE ¨¨¨^=^@&¶@
¶&@^=^¨¨¨¨ THREADS IN HIS EYES, OPENING THEM FOR ¨¨¨¨^=^@&¶
@¶&@^=^¨¨¨ THE FIRST TIME. BEFORE HIM, THE ¨¨¨^=^@&¶@

##@¶&@^=^¨ 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. ¨¨^=^@&¶@#

@¶&@^=^¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨^=^@&¶
