    I’m living in memories this week: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/09/22/plitvicka-jezera/
    I adore your photo of this bridge, very pictoresque. Is that the new bridge of the old one that collapsed in 1879? Why do I know about that accident? No coincidence. One of the most famous poems in German was written about this event. Theodor Fontane wrote “Die Brück’ am Tay” (unfortunately there is only a wikipedia page in German on this: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Br%C3%BCck%E2%80%99_am_Tay ) in the direct aftermath of the disaster claiming 75 lives. The ballad starts and ends with a Shakespearean scene, three spirits or witches meet (When will we three meet again …) and decide on the fate of the bridge, and at the end relish in the number of victims. The middle part tells the story of the parents of the train driver who await their son for a belated Christmas celebration but the mother was anxious because of a feeling of foreboding. The poem has a feeling of urgency – “just the bridge, and we’re home” – the train driver rejoices in the triumph of man’s achievement over nature, and when the train crash comes it shows the dominance of nature. The actual catastrophe is almost glanced over – the parents see the train, they see a flame tumbling into the water and “again night”. Anyway, I though you might be interested.
