Can I ask for Cersei x Jaime then?
“No Second Troy” by W.B. Yeats
└ Jaime/Cersei, A Song of Ice and Fire
Why should I blame her that she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets upon the great,
Had they but courage equal to desire?
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this,
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?
I had a long conversation with someone once about what relationship in ASOIAF best fits this poem and we decided on Cersei/Jaime. It’s as if Jaime really ought to have known better that Cersei, being Cersei, being a woman of her nature in a society like theirs, would do exactly what Cersei had to do. He should’ve known better than to expect a woman like her to contain herself to structures that would inevitably burn in her presence. Anyway here’s another one I did for them.
