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.
