@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ 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 @¨¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ 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.                   @¨¨@¨@¨@¨@
