¨¨¨,~;=¤¤¶ a student at the charcoal guild... his ¶¤¤=;~,¨¨¨

¨,~;=¤¤¶@# 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 #@¶¤¤=;~,¨
