Kings Queens Protect

More From George R. R. Martin

Will you not covet such power as this, and seek such throne as this, and be no more housewives, but queens? there is no putting by that crown; queens you must always be; queens to your lovers; queens to your husbands and sons; queens of higher mystery to the world beyond. . . . but alas! you are too often idle and careless queens, grasping at majesty in the least things, while you abdicate it in the greatest.
Queens Husband Son
The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

But it seems that something has happened that has never happened before; though we know not just when, or why, or how, or where. men have left god not for gods, they say, but for no gods; and this has never happened before. that men both deny gods and worship gods, professing first reason, and the money, and power, and what they call life, or race, or dialect.the church disowned, the tower overthrown, the bells upturned, what have we to do but stand with empty hands and palms upturned in an age which advances progressively backwards?
Religious Men Race
Yet the ivory gods, and the ebony gods, and the gods of diamond-jade, are only silly puppet gods that people themselves have made.-

And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women and if people aren't involved in helping godly men in getting elected than we're going to have a nation of secular laws. that's not what our founding fathers intended and that's certainly isn't what god intended.
