Asclepiades of Samos
Another poem that reminds me of Sansan. The ancient Greek poet Asclepiades of Samos. A bit of a vision of Sansan in the last canon novel "A Dream of Spring." I'm thinking of commissioning an artist to draw this with Sansa/Sandor.

the taste of snow at midsummer,
how sweet a kind spring breeze
after the gales of winter.
But as we all discover,
nothing’s quite as sweet
as one large cloak
wrapped around two lovers
