Disagree. First 3 maybe the the last 2 are in dire need of an editor. He must have used "cheek by jowl" 40 times in the 5th one. All that HBO money going to his head.
And how many times was "wine-dark seas" used in the Odyssey? It's called an epithet. Not that I believe that actually occurs much in ASOIAF, but if it did, it is certainly a literary device according to Martin's skill.
