Exercícios
(...) “It was the cold,” Gared said with iron certainty. “I saw men freeze last winter, and the one
before, when I was half a boy. Everyone talks about snows forty foot deep, and how the ice wind
comes howling out of the north, but the real enemy is the cold. It steals up on you quieter than
Will, and at first you shiver and your teeth chatter and you stamp your feet and dream of mulled
wine and nice hot fires. It burns, it does. Nothing burns like the cold. But only for a while. Then it
gets inside you and starts to fill you up, and after a while you don’t have the strength to fight it. It’s
easier just to sit down or go to sleep. They say you don’t feel any pain toward the end. First you go
weak and drowsy, and everything starts to fade, and then it’s like sinking into a sea of warm milk.
Peaceful, like.” (…)
A song of ice and fire – Game of Thrones – George R. R. Martin
