§§§¨§§¨§§¨ 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... §¨¨¨¨¨¨§¨§
