This is clearly a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven", which includes the recurring line "Quoth the raven: 'Nevermore.'" But Terry Pratchett also introduced a talking raven named Quoth (no "e") in ''Soul Music'', and he reappears in ''Hogfather'' and ''Thief of Time''. In those books he is the companion and flying mount of the rat equivalent of the grim reaper, the Death of Rats. Since the Death of Rats can only say "SQUEAK", he relies on Quoth when needing to communicate with humans, mostly Susan Sto Helit. | This is clearly a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven", which includes the recurring line "Quoth the raven: 'Nevermore.'"
