¨¨,~\^$§£# successful student #£§$^\~,¨¨
¨,~\^$§£## ##£§$^\~,¨
¨¨,~\^$§£# but one day he fell down into a crystal #£§$^\~,¨¨
¨¨¨,~\^$§£ cavern. it was deep in the mountain, a £§$^\~,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,~\^$§ great hall with only a single tiny §$^\~,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨,~\^$ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. #£§$^\~,¨¨

¨¨¨,~\^$§£ £§$^\~,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,~\^$§ at the end of his life, when at the §$^\~,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨,~\^$ edge of the world he opened his eyes $^\~,¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨,~\^ for a second time, stars had hatched in ^\~,¨¨¨¨¨¨
