译文
The eye went out. Having stayed away a year, it came back and asked: "How were you able to live without me?" — "Like the blind: without seeing, but breathing with the breath, speaking with speech, hearing with the ear, thinking with the mind." And the eye entered again.

The second year — without sight. The body's answer runs in the same pattern: "like the blind" — life has narrowed but has not stopped. The "support"-eye, whose title sounded so weighty, proves replaceable: the other powers redistributed the service and kept the house.
The parable moves with a ritual regularity — four departures, four returns — and there is sense in the repetition: pride does not surrender at the first trial. Every power must measure its own absence for itself and return to its place for itself. A humility not undergone in person is not learned from another's report.
