Bad bread!!! You say
But just wait
It will become good bread soon!
Hunger will make even a bad bread ,good
The most Delicious and finest of flavor
For that matter, I must not eat
Until hunger bids me;
So I shall wait and shall not eat
Until I can either get good bread
Or else cease to be squeamish about it!!!
(Good bread is here a metaphor for Luxury and superfluity)
Seneca
Letters from a stoic
