wow, does that trigger a host of associations!
putting out my tongue for one (like a snowflake...)
the siege of Magdeburg, specious German Magdeburg = maiden...
the city where people live and work and do (more or less) productive things,
and besieged from outside where people have taken up war which is
basically hell...
so maybe V. is like the world at peace that ol' Stencil is looking for?
