I agree. I really wish he had the time to finish all his works, but he was so imaginative and intelligent, he put so much detail and effort into each work, that it was destined for him to leave his work unfinished since it would take another lifetime to finish what he never did.
It is enough to be able to read the works release postmortem, and it is a real loss to be unable to see how he would have finished his tales.
