blur, css, html, svg-filters

CSS

body {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    background: url(http://lorempixel.com/420/255) no-repeat center center fixed;
    background-size: cover;
}
body:before {
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right:auto;
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    height: 100%;
    width: 500px;
    background: url(http://lorempixel.com/420/255)  no-repeat center center fixed;
    background-size: cover;
    z-index: -1;
    filter: blur(5px);
    -webkit-filter: blur(5px);
}

div {
    height: 100%;
    width: 450px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

Problem

I have a full screen background-image ``` .bg { left: 0; min-height: 100%; min-width: 100%; position: fixed; top: 0; z-index: -1; } ``` and want to apply a CSS filter, personally I would like to use a blur effect, at the same position as my body ``` .container { margin: 0 auto; width: 1000px; } ``` Here's an example: I want to write text over the blurred container.
