Quotes
For the Mother of Dragons, no gift is too great. On the morrow, you shall feast upon peacock and lark's tongue, and hear music worthy of the most beautiful of women. The Thirteen will come to do you homage, and all the great of Qarth.[5]
Arianne: I have always been fond of swans. No other bird is half so beautiful, this side of the Summer Isles.
Balon: Your peacocks might dispute that.
Arianne: They might, but peacocks are vain, proud creatures, strutting about in all those gaudy colors. Give me a swan serene in white or beautiful in black.[6]
