To the Memory of Emile Varhaeren - J. Baltrusaitis |
 | | In accordance with the wish expressed by Verhaeren before his death, his body, which is at present in a Rouen hospital, will be conveyed to La Panne, a small Flemish town in the unoccupied territory of Belgium, where the burial will take place. |
 | | Indeed, if with Verhaeren's death Belgium has been deprived of her spiritual Leader and King, so also has the poetry of little things lost in him the supreme light of its triumphant power, the loftiest might of its prophetic designs and of its expression. |
 | | The genius Verhaeren must in every conceivable degree be considered as the first of contemporary artists, not only for the incomparable mastery of his art, but, far more significantly, for the extraordinary fullness of his inner experience. |
