“However, we do know that burials always involve the idea of the continued life beyond the visible one, of a plane of being that is behind the visible plane, and that is somehow supportive of the visible one to which we have to relate. I would say that is the basic theme of all mythology–that there is an invisible plane supporting the visible one.”

Again, yes. I have all his works. He is the foundation, or rather myth, is the foundation of what we know as literature.
