«I know about the promise … Maester Theomore, tell them! A thousand years before the Conquest, a promise was made, and oaths were sworn in the Wolf's Den before the old gods and the new. When we were sore beset and friendless, hounded from our homes and in peril of our lives, the wolves took us in and nourished us and protected us against our enemies. The city is built upon the land they gave us. In return we swore that we should always be their men. Stark men! »

I finished reading "Rebecca," and I can definitely see how this book inspired a lot of songs on Folklore and Evermore. But to go even further, here's a quote I found of Daphne du Maurier talking about the Menabilly house she lived in that inspired Manderley in the book, and I'm getting such Taylor Swift Folklore vibes from this!
Also, du Maurier died in 1989, the year Taylor Swift was born
