The eye went out. Having stayed away for a year, it came back and asked: "How did you live without me?" They said: "Like the blind: not seeing with the eye — but living by the other powers. So we lived." And the eye entered again.

The second year is without sight: they live "like the blind". The eye-as-support proves replaceable: the other powers covered the breach, and the house of life stood.
The rhythm of the parable does not change: a year away — a question — the body's sober answer — a quiet return to its place. Every power measures its own absence in person and satisfies itself in person: without it there is a maiming, not a death. Humility is not taught from outside — it is worked out by going away.
