¨¨¨¨¨¨@@¨¨ ¨¨¨;¨¨¨ @@@@¨¨@@@¨
@@@@@¨¨¨¨@ ¨@@¨¨¨¨@¨¨
¨@@@¨¨@@¨¨ 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... @@@@@@@@¨¨
