Quote by Terry Pratchett
A man walked across the moors from Razorback to Lancre town without seeing a single marshlight, head-less dog, strolling tree, ghostly coach or comet, and had to be taken in by a tavern and given a drink to unsteady his nerves.
Summary
This quote suggests that the moors mentioned are known to be filled with supernatural or mythical creatures and events. However, when a man walks across them without encountering any of these phenomena, it is so unexpected and contrary to the moors' reputation that he becomes unsettled and needs a drink to calm his nerves. This highlights the contrast between the man's anticipation of encountering strange occurrences and the mundane reality he experiences, emphasizing the power of perception and expectations in shaping one's experience of the world.
