- For those of you expecting something profound or political, I'm sorry to have to disappoint you. This is mearly something that I found amusing while reading in bed this morning.
The source is Steven Brust's fantasy novel The Lord of Castle Black and the context is a meeting in preparation for battle:
--------------------
"Morrolan turned to the Necromancer. "Can you help?"
"My Lord?
"Sorcery. I have learned something of sorcery. I am told it can do amazing things. I don't know. Blast them with fire, or make stones fall on their heads, or create an illusion of giant butterflies with nine-inch teeth. Something."
--------------------
It was the image of butterflies with nine-inch teeth that amused me.
