Lost Melnibonean Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Around the middle of Game, we learned that Tyrion’s true love, Tysha, sang a song to him... Quote "Do you know this song?" he asked. "You hear it here and there, in inns and whorehouses." "Myrish. ‘The Seasons of My Love.' Sweet and sad, if you understand the words. The first girl I ever bedded used to sing it, and I've never been able to put it out of my head." Tyrion VI, Game 42 As Tyrion lied near death after the Battle of the Blackwater, we learned a line from the song... Quote They would kiss for hours, and spend whole days doing no more than lolling in bed, listening to the waves, and touching each other. Her body was a wonder to him, and she seemed to find delight in his. Sometimes she would sing to him. I loved a maid as fair as summer, with sunlight in her hair. "I love you, Tyrion," she would whisper before they went to sleep at night. "I love your lips. I love your voice, and the words you say to me, and how you treat me gentle. I love your face." Tyrion XV, Clash 67 This was reiterated early in Storm... Quote "No. If I've given offense, forgive me. I had my own love once, and we had a song as well." I loved a maid as fair as summer, with sunlight in her hair. Tyrion II, Storm 12 And we recalled Lancel singing the song to Cersei... Quote Through the door came the soft sound of the high harp, mingled with a trilling of pipes. The singer's voice was muffled by the thick walls, yet Tyrion knew the verse. I loved a maid as fair as summer, he remembered, with sunlight in her hair . . . Tyrion VI, Clash 25 Interestingly, Tyrion wonders whether Jaime thinks of Cersei with this first verse in mind... Quote Is this the Cersei that Jaime sees? When she smiled, you saw how beautiful she was, truly. I loved a maid as fair as summer, with sunlight in her hair. Tyrion VI, Clash 25 We also recalled that he learned what must be the third line of the song... Quote Shae stood in the door behind him, dressed in the silvery robe he'd given her. I loved a maid as white as winter, with moonglow in her hair. Tyrion X, Clash 44 Since winter is opposite to summer, Shae is opposite to Tysha. While that caught my eye, it was the second line that made my head turn... Quote After a time the candle guttered and went out. Moonlight slanted between the slats of the shutters, laying pale silvery bars across her father's face. She could hear the soft whisper of his labored breathing, the endless rush of waters, the faint chords of some love song drifting up from the yard, so sad and sweet. "I loved a maid as red as autumn," Rymund sang, "with sunset in her hair." Catelyn VII, Clash 55 This was right before Catelyn played matchmaker with Jaime and Brienne the Beauty. So, we have Tyrion and Tysha followed by Tyrion and Shae, and we have Jaime and Cersei followed by Jaime and Brienne. ETA Baratheon colors are black and gold, Lannister colors are crimson and gold, and Tyrell colors are green and gold. The only colors on the Iron Throne for the purple wedding were Lannister and Tyrell; nor were there any Baratheons on the dais, only Lannisters and Tyrells... Quote The bride was lovely in ivory silk and Myrish lace, her skirts decorated with floral patterns picked out in seed pearls. As Renly's widow, she might have worn the Baratheon colors, gold and black, yet she came to them a Tyrell, in a maiden's cloak made of a hundred cloth-of-gold roses sewn to green velvet. ... The Kingsguard escorted them onto the dais, to the seats of honor beneath the shadow of the Iron Throne, draped for the occasion in long silk streamers of Baratheon gold, Lannister crimson, and Tyrell green. Cersei embraced Margaery and kissed her cheeks. Lord Tywin did the same, and then Lancel and Ser Kevan. Joffrey received loving kisses from the bride's father and his two new brothers, Loras and Garlan. No one seemed in any great rush to kiss Tyrion. Tyrion VIII, Storm 60 This specific line... Quote Rainbow lights danced once more about the High Septon's crown as he solemnly declared Joffrey of the Houses Baratheon and Lannister and Margaery of House Tyrell to be one flesh, one heart, one soul. Tyrion VIII, Storm 60 Recalls this... Quote Little Walder quartered the twin towers of Frey with the brindled boar of his grandmother's House and the plowman of his mother's: Crakehall and Darry, respectively. Big Walder's quarterings were the tree-and-ravens of House Blackwood and the twining snakes of the Paeges. They must be hungry for honor, Bran thought as he watched them take up their lances. A Stark needs only the direwolf. Bran II, Clash 16 Lannisters are hungry for honor... like Freys. ETA II Let’s see... Renly, dead. Balon, dead. Robb, dead. Joffrey, dead. Stannis won the War of the Five Kings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walda Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 ^He won, indeed! Another connection I only noticed today: Quote dancers from the Summer Isles swirled and spun in robes made of bright feathers and smoky silk.(ASoS, Ch.60 Tyrion VIII) while not a perfect fit, ties in nicely with Ser Axel Florent's vision: Quote “The Lady Melisandre tells us that sometimes R’hllor permits his faithful servants to glimpse the future in flames. It seemed to me as I watched the fire this morning that I was looking at a dozen beautiful dancers, maidens garbed in yellow silk spinning and swirling before a great king. I think it was a true vision, ser. A glimpse of the glory that awaits His Grace after we take King’s Landing and the throne that is his by rights.”(ACoK,Ch.10 Davos I) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Melnibonean Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Other than the Lords Declarant during their strained parly, only two persons address Littlefinger as Littlefinger, Eddard Stark and Robert Arryn. Cersei is the only other character who uses the nickname in his presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fattest Leech Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 On 8/9/2016 at 11:05 PM, Lost Melnibonean said: Wow I never noticed that both Sansa andArya killed a doll. Hmm. The other doll references throughout seem to represent childhood, or naivete as one might expect, but Arya and Sansa both take a doll from someone who is irritating them and they rip it up. Arya's example is a little more gruesome than Sansa's (and Arya makes a funny joke of the killing), but both are in the same book. A Storm of Swords - Arya XII It was quiet in the village. They had beds stuffed with straw and not too many lice, the food was plain but filling, and the air smelled of pines. All the same, Arya soon decided that she hated it. The villagers were cowards. None of them would even look at the Hound's face, at least not for long. Some of the women tried to put her in a dress and make her do needlework, but they weren't Lady Smallwood and she was having none of it. And there was one girl who took to following her, the village elder's daughter. She was of an age with Arya, but just a child; she cried if she skinned a knee, and carried a stupid cloth doll with her everywhere she went. The doll was made up to look like a man-at-arms, sort of, so the girl called him Ser Soldier and bragged how he kept her safe. "Go away," Arya told her half a hundred times. "Just leave me be." She wouldn't, though, so finally Arya took the doll away from her, ripped it open, and pulled the rag stuffing out of its belly with a finger. "Now he really looks like a soldier!" she said, before she threw the doll in a brook. After that the girl stopped pestering her, and Arya spent her days grooming Craven and Stranger or walking in the woods. Sometimes she would find a stick and practice her needlework, but then she would remember what had happened at the Twins and smash it against a tree until it broke.

Quote "And I must warn you, after all these years of silence and whisperings, I mean to scream when you love me." ... "Make me a baby, Petyr," she screamed, "make me another sweet little baby." It's certainly not conclusive. I resisted the idea for years. No reason you should accept it. In any event, I doubt we'll ever know for sure, and I don't think it will mater for the plot.
