  "i am not blind, nor deaf. i know that you all believe me weak, frightened, feeble. your father knew me better. oberyn was ever the viper. deadly, dangerous, unpredictable. no man dared tread on him. i was the grass. pleasant, complaisant, sweet-smelling, swaying with every breeze. who fears to walk upon the grass? but it is the grass that hides the viper from his enemies and shelters him until he strikes."
