Destroyer - Shooting Rockets (From the Desk of Night's Ape)

"This is not a game we are playing, Mr Staunton. It can be dangerous. Part of my work is to see the dangers as they come and help you to get through them. But if the dangers are inescapable and possibly destructive, don't think I can help you fly over them. There will be lions in the way. I cannot pull their teeth or tell them to make paddy-paws; I can only give you some useful tips about lion-taming."

- Robertson Davies , The Manticore
