“Maeterlinck can weave mysticism, educe a moral, out of whatever comes to his hand. The merit of his style, of its pellucid originality, is the metaphor and that metaphor generally a single type, personification. It is no willful trick of style, no imposed elaborateness of location. It is the simple expression of his vision.” Florence Wilkinson.
