Do you agree with this?

"There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years."
By novelist Willa Cather
I found this at Dictionary.com, where I went this morning to look up the definition of apidistra, a word I read at this blog:  http://yeoldecrabb.wordpress.com/

Oddly' I've been ruminating WC's quip, though I'd forgotten the source. Contrast w/ Joseph Campbell and MOTT. The archetypes would suggest if it's all themes on one story. Much variation is available. Read OC today for anothr meditation on the same theme.

Can't see to correct nor care to incur the headache to elaborate,bit will save so I can amplify later. To say only ome story severely mocks the meaning of the Passion.
