Hmm. Looks like a kenning for the grave or death.

Drawn into the bowl of a pipe or…a treatise on the magical properties of the elephant,…a state of mind where [one’s] own objectivity is severely shaken
Journey Around My Pipe invites us to go beyond the illusion of the immediacy of things

I just got this book from Germany

Peter Gut, Tierische Unter Strom.

I mainly bought it because of the photo on the cover.
"Nicht ganz bei Tost" ["Not quite toast"] or "Wo die Zebras herkommen" ["Where Zebras Come From"] The main title is a pun in German. "Tost" is slang for -- you guessed it -- toast! But "Trost" with an 'r' is related to the English word trust and means consolation or emotional comfort. The phrase "Nicht ganz bei Trost" means "daft" or literally "not wholly in his right mind".
