- I finally managed to get back my copy of _Reaper Man_ from the friend who
- I loaned it to, and on rereading it was struck by Death's final question
- to Azrael -
-
- What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man ?
-
- Is this line original to Terry Pratchett ? I seem to recall hearing
- something similar in the past, although I think it was "if not for the
- care of the harvester". In any case, it's an ideal phrase for that dream
- gravestone that people keep trying to sell me over the phone.
-
- Just curious.
