'On the appearance of "The Princess Maleine" in 1890, the
author, hitherto known only to a small circle of amateurs,
at once sprang into fame on the continent.... As a brooding
poet, a mystic, and a contemplative spectator of the comedy of
death, whose work is couched, almost by a sort of accident,
in dramatic form, Maeterlinck will probably find a place in
literature'.
