On 28 may 2025 a part of the glacier Birch in Switzerland broke off and rushed into the valley underneath and buried the village Blatten. I here see it relative to my own work in the same days.
According to this source, it was on 14 may 2025 that the mountain Kleines Nesthorn started to get a little unstable. There had been some rockfall in the region in the 1990's and the mountain was therefore under surveillance which probably is the reason why one has such precise data. The evacuation of Blatten started already on 17-19 may. It seems that a major rockfall was on 19 may - according to this account it seems that parts of the Kleines Nesthorn had started to detach between 17:00 and 18:00 on 19 may 2025 and fell down on the glacier underneath. (The same video is found here wherein Pomona Media is credited with the data - I notice a background comment at 00:26 - the data are hopefully not adjusted to the contents of my private computer, though). This continued in the following days untill - as tells this account from a local glaciologist - told at 03:00-04:00 - the stone masses on the glacier was so heavy that it on 28 may broke and rushed into the valley. It seems that the amount of stone on the glacier had reached 81 meters height before it broke.
On 14 may 2025 I published this comment on sex - it is stored on my computer at 08:10 in the morning and it was probably around that time that I published it, if not a few hours later. It could perhaps have looked like a 'goodbye to dreams of a Kleines Nesthorn', as could be somebody's throught.
In addition to this draft file there are the following two images saved on my computer between 17:00 and 18:00 on 19 may 2025 - these are also used in the same form (in the article) next to the photo of the mountain Chogolisa (source of the photo):

Both the man on top of (the probably 'ex nihilo' piece which I call) the 'wigwam' as well as Parmigianino's Saint Margareth seem to look up onto and over the 'hillside'.
The following image ('Kleines Nesthorn' or 'Kleines Hornnest'?) was stored on my computer on 18 may 2025 at 23:51 - it is made from a combination of a detail from this source and the photo of the mountain Chogolisa (source of the photo) pasted over it:
Looking up Grimm's 'Wörterbuch' on the web for the word 'blatten', I find the following (screenshot):
Hence, meaning 1) 'auf dem blatt pfeifen', should be to call for or like a roebuck or female roe deer, probably, as I guess, by blowing on a leaf of grass between the thumbs - could be this opening between the 2 parallel thumbs would resemble the 'oarlock' out through which the upper man of the 'wigwam' is looking?
With this (partial) translation by https://translate.google.at, it seems that the 3-liner is a quote from 'Ulr. Trist. 551.' (probably a poem from the 13th century) somewhat as follows:
|
ze blaten er begunde, do si wâren in dem walde, eʒ kam gevarn ûf sie ein rêch. |
The leaf was beginning, (should have been: 'He started to blow the grass leaf'?) while they were in the forest, a leaf was coming for them. (should have been: 'a roe deer was coming to them'?) |
Or would my
TEQ #460 - which I studied in yesterday's comment - be a relevant 'translation' of this quote from Ulrich von Türheim?
TEQ #460
Exodus 16:14
ותעל שכבת הטל והנה על-פני המדבר דק מחספס דק ככפר על-הארץ
While it has begun,
perhaps he'll find five Porter's pender,
mag wir acht zu sehen.
Senguin Cuds of Muds
If so, then the 5 'penders' would be the 2 thumbs with the opening wherein the grass leaf is inbetween - just as is the case with the numbers 2 and 5 discussed yesterday - see this illustration with
the harpist in the upper row (source Blackman 1915) who then will be the grass leaf between the 2 thumbs. Is this 'Blatten's pender' the answer to the question 'why porter's pender'? 'Sich in Acht nehmen' = 'to take care', 'be careful' - like the roe deer coming?
I notice also this poem of mine (from SNEEFT COEIL, chapter 5 'Ich ginge aus zu Breleon', poem 29).
(Notice that 'written by a poetic logic which is bigger than the poet's consciousness' does not mean 'monkey business on the poet's writings').
4/6-2025:
Here is a screenshot of Ulrich's text at 551:

Source = screenshot of title page of the text
There are two lines which are not in conformity with my poem #460 - that is "wan er wil wol kunde / manege tagalde" - which could have been what fell out in Blatten. Does it tell of what I wrote on 14 may 2025?
