blathed
raze
in
volume
ten
of
"prosaiske skrifter (prosaic writings)", published
in
1861, danish philologist
and
historian johan ludvig heiberg
quotes
from
what
appears
to
be
a
poem
entitled
"bolemit
with
grundtvig":
"
hold
fig smukt
til
facta, kjære!
lad motiverne gaae frie!
du
b
ør iffe blathed
l
ære
i
de andres compagnie"
which
translates
to
something
like
this
:
"
stick
to
the
facts,
dear
!
let
the
motives
go
free
!
you
should
have
learned
to
blathe
in
the
company
of
others
"
"
blathe
"
is
the
only
word
that
stays
the
same
while
having
fun_with_google_translate
and
warping
danish
into
mangled
english
, proving
blather
transcends
all
barriers
of
language
and
time
,
and
leaving
me
to
wonder
if
in
the
nineteenth
century
there
was
a
secret
community
of
proto
-'skites scratching
out
their
thoughts
and
dreams
with
fountain
pens
and
passing
notes
to
one
another
.
(
this
probably
sounds
like
something
silly
i
made
up
.
i
swear
to
you
it's
true
.
i
did
an
internet
search
for
the
word
"blathed"
to
see
what
would
happen
,
and
this
is
what
i
found
.)
