Terry Pratchett, the immensely popular British fantasy novelist whose more than 70 books include the series known as Discworld, died on Thursday at his home near Salisbury, England. He was 66. --New York Times, March 12, 2015 |
As you can see
I am occupied with Death,
so there’s no time left
to answer you with a novel.
When I first arrived
in the world
I thought there would be
more time;
I was mistaken;
so are we all.
