	Wine loaf thou... nope, don't get it!

	Checked back here to see if someone was going to explain the connection... nope... just people content to hit the down arrow and move on.

	Its not the loaf wine and thou alone that are the theme, I believe the whole theme is "A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou." As far as I can tell it seems to be either a line or the title to some piece of famous poetry, although I am not quite cultured enough to know which. Skyrim comes before poetry on my list.

	It's a line from the English translation of the Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam. That particular stanza states: A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread--and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness-- Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!

	Very nice. I wasn't familiar with the reference either. But I saw the title, word-ladder-rubaiyat-verse, in the URL, and since I'm obviously sitting at a computer, I looked it up. And guess what, I learned something. Thank you, Mimbleton!

	Evanwill, there was poetry before Skyrim, and there will be poetry after Skyrim. ... There is even poetry IN Skyrim; "Maw unleashing razor snow, Of dragons from the blue brought down, Births the walking winter's woe, The High King in his Jagged Crown." - You are more cultured than you think, and less than you will be, in time.

	It may not have been so hard for me if the second-to-last answer was not a foreign name that has multiple English spellings. But I don't know Chinese history and I don't know Persian poetry, so you got me.

	If I could change it, the second-to-last clue would be expanded to; "Chinese Communist leader ____ En-lai" ... or something like that.
