A loaf of
bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the
bread! — Lovers who have their priorities exactly right. At a certain point all we have are the memories we create together. You don’t need much else.
“A loaf of
bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread!” just means: In this moment all I need is you and maybe a little wine might be nice too. But, if I have “you” I might not even need the wine either.
Husband:
“A loaf of
bread, a jug of wine and thou.”
Wife:
A loaf of
bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the
bread! And if there’s no wine, all I need in this moment is you.
