Magic Playground
Who knows their dwarf (possibly Norse) mythology? What about magic loaves of bread?
I need help with a line from a poem that I am analyzing. It is from Kamala Das’ “The Old Playground: “Beneath your monstrous ego I ate the magic loaf and / became a dwarf.”
I did the best research I could, but all I could find was an abstract to essay about Freud and dwarfism, something about taking the whole loaf as a “magic wish to grow.”
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The only thing I know about dwarfs and bread is from the Terry Pratchett Discworld novels.
The Bread is important to the dwarfs. The throne of the Low-King is made from Dwarf Bread.
