Publisher's Synopsis
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.
