Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Maurice Maeterlinck and Other Sketches of Foreign Writers It was not till he wrote the series of essays called Le Tresor des Humbles that we could any of us understand M. Maeterlinck. In his earlier moods he seemed to be trying to copy the Elizabethan drama, especially in its sugges tions of vague horror and crude, soul-subduing crime. As a matter of fact, the Belgian writer translated into French one of the most charac teristic of John Ford's plays; another of the Belgian school reproduced Webster's Duchess of Malfi and the whole of Princess Maleine is a pale and ineffective version of what Shake speare achieved so triumphantly in Hamlet and Macbeth. But though the attractiveness of the supernatural always remained as an over powering interest for our author, he ceased to care for the crude and the morbid forms of tragedy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck: A Biographical Study The little gleam that flickers on the horizon, one cannot tell yet if it is a rush light or a planet. In these or some such terms was Maeterlinck referred to, at the end of 1889, by one of the first critics of the Princesse M alcine. The writer had not been convinced by Octave Mirbeau's dithyramb, who, like another wise man from the East, had greeted the little Princess with the strange white lashes as the shepherds' star of a poetical Messiah.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck a Study Maeterlinck is a man of the open; he is healthful and health-giving, and he has never wilfully kept his eye upon the can ker-worm. In this respect, he is the oppo site of Henrik Ibsen. The latter never changed; he varied now and again; but be rather deepened his conviction than alter ed it. In every respect is Maeterlinck sub jcet to evolution; he is constantly shifting his base. But he is doing this, not in order to discomfort his readers, but in order to place himself upon a more serene basis in his search after the highest truth. Only in so far as he disturbs himself may he be called a revolutionary, a disillusionizer. His writings are simply expressions of his thinking aloud. There is no design in them, except in so far as they mark the transit of an individual deeply concerned about the hidden forces of existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck Poet and Philosopher Which of us is there who would not just now do his little best for the glory and honour, as well as for the material well-being, of Belgium, heroic in her struggle against the overwhelming onslaught and tyrannic oppression of a cruel foe, great in strength but not in soul? The gallantry and magnificently united front of what used to be "little" Belgium has shown Germany what inspiration a great soul can put into a small body. Alas, that we have not been able to save Belgium from her bitter fate! Our part now is to act so that the bitterest consequences, annexation and continued domination by our joint enemy, may not also fall to her lot. She has preserved her soul from the depths of the deadly conflict - may we not help to disseminate her spirit, to spread her teaching far and wide, to create and stimulate the desire among all English speaking peoples, in every quarter of the globe, the wish to read, learn, and inwardly digest the works of those who bear great names in her literature? If this essay should rouse or encourage the desire to study the noble works of Maeterlinck at first hand (and that is the only way in which really to appreciate him), it would have amply accomplished its task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck Massacre of the Innocents and some of the poems collected in Serres Chaudes, and is otherwise unforgotten for its part in the history of symbolism. The'law-student returned to Ghent after little more than six months and began to practise at the Bar. But Rodenbach had introduced him to La fame Belgique, and he had contributed more poems to it. The year 1889 saw inseparable events - the publication of Maeterlinck's poems, Serres Chaudes, and his farewell to the Bar. Madame Maeterlinck mentions a very accurate mind and a special gift of practical good sense among his qualifications for the legal profession. The en thusiastic Gerard Harry says that he lost with triumphant ease the first and last cases in which he pleaded, and gives as one reason the fact that his voice was impracticably harsh and thin, and as another his excessive shyness and solitary, taciturn habits of meditation.
