<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">From
Heather:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Jonny asked
about The Muspilli. Your wish is my command ! Though whether I am allowed
to introduce Bavarian sources to this forum remains to be seen! If the
following is mere blank page, then be assured that the Great Kahuna has seen
fit to censor the text! The text was found by googling for Muspilli which
saved me writing it up from my Althochdeutsches Lesebuch!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">& More
from Heather:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I've just
found this translation on Wikipedia but I'm not sure I'd<br>
agree with the sea being swallowed: I have muor as Moor /Sumpf</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Bavarian of

the hot shivers! I shall now take it into a corner & channer on it for
days. I don't know Modern Bavarian from rubarb poi (surely unknown to the Great
Kahuna - a great relief if true); so why does it strike me as so followable?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Weos Heile!</span></p>

durance in bed with the doctor... Hem.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">By the way,
a geological historian has been collecting records of a vast number of
bomb-like craters peppering the German Plain, dating back to a swarm of
meteorite strikes around approximately the La Teinè expansion. Sky falling? One
wonders. If I find the reference I'll post it.<br><br>----------<br></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>

<br>Carl Orff, who was very good at recreating medieval music in modern packages, wrote his 1947 "folk opera" <i>Die Bernauerin</i> in Middle Bavarian. I watched it on TV as a child and was incredibly impressed by it, everything about it, including the fact that I was the only one in my family who could understand it. I wish it were available in video form somewhere on the web. The play is loosely based on the life of Agnes Bernauer (1410-1435):<br>
