	Famous Belgians - Maurice Maeterlinck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Maeterlinck was born in Ghent and educated in law at the university there.
		Maeterlinck's plays are characterized by clear and simple writing, by a dreamlike atmosphere, and by the suggestion rather than the direct expression of ideas and emotions.
		Maeterlinck was also the author of many works in prose that deal with philosophic questions and with nature; they include “The Treasure of the Humble” (1896, translated in 1897), “The Life of the Bee” (1901) and “The Intelligence of Flowers” (1907).

	Maurice Maeterlinck
		Maeterlinck was born of a very old Flemish family.
		Maeterlinck's later plays, represented particularly by Monna Vanna and Mary Magdalene, are in decided contrast to the tendencies of the earlier ones, while The Bluebird, the Christmas novelty by which he is best known, is an imaginative play in a class by itself.
		In 1911, Maeterlinck was honored with the Nobel Prize for literary achievement.

	MAURICE MAETERLINCK - LoveToKnow Article on MAURICE MAETERLINCK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Maeterlinck was at this time totally unknown, but he became famous through an article by Octave Mirbeau, prominently published in the Paris Figaro, entitled A Belgian Shakespeare.
		It has been universally felt that his spirit is one of grave and disinterested attachment to the highest moral beauty, and his seriousness, his serenity and his extreme originality bavc impressed even those who are bewildered by his diaphanous graces and offended at his nebulous mysticism.
		In spite of the shadowy action of Maeterlincks plays, which inde~d require some special conditions and contrivances for their performance, they are frequently produced with remarkable success before audiences who cannot be suspected of mysticism, in most of the countries of Europe.

	Nobel Prize in Literature 1911 - Presentation Speech
		Maurice Maeterlinck was born in 1862 at Ghent.
		Besides, Maeterlinck is in no way a polemist; in almost all his works there breathes a sweet, sometimes melancholy soul, so that in poetic beauty he excels many writers whose conception of the world rests perhaps more on the concept of personality.
		Maeterlinck's idealism finds a happy expression here in his words on the most exalted poetry, which, he says, aims at keeping open the principal paths which lead from the visible to the invisible world.

	Maurice Maeterlinck - Biography
		Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949), born in Ghent, Belgium, came from a well-to-do family.
		Lack of action, fatalism, mysticism, and the constant presence of death characterize the works of Maeterlinck's early period, such as L'Intruse (1890) [The Intruder], Les Aveugles (1890) [The Blind], and the love dramas Pelléas et Mélisande (1892), Alladine et Palomides (1894), and Aglavaine et Sélysette (1896).
		Maeterlinck developed his strongly mystical ideas in a number of prose works, among them Le Trésor des Humbles (1896) [The Treasure of the Humble], La Sagesse et la destinée (1898) [Wisdom and Destiny], and Le Temple enseveli (1902) [The Buried Temple].

	Monna Vanna
		Above all, MaEterlinck is the portrayer of the remote, the poet of symbols; therefore it may seem out of place to bring him down to earth, to simplify him, or to interpret his revolutionary spirit.
		Besides, we have Maeterlinck's own conception of the significance of the revolutionary spirit In a very masterly article called "The Social Revolution," he discusses the objection on the part of the conservative section of society to the introduction of revolutionary methods.
		Maeterlinck realizes that there are certain grievances in society, iniquitous conditions which demand immediate solution, and that if we do not solve them with the readiest and quickest methods at our command, they will react upon society and upon life a great deal more terribly than even the most terrible revolutions.

	Untitled Document
		Its title comes from the biblical story, but Maeterlinck scholars seem to agree that his inspiration came not from the Bible, but from the composition that Brueghel the Elder painted circa 1564, a reproduction of which was found in Maeterlinck's study in Flanders.
		Maeterlinck's Massacre of the Innocents begins on 26 December with a little boy running to tell the peasants at the tavern that the Spaniards have come and hung his mother and tied his nine sisters to a tree.
		Maeterlinck's scene is one of horror and chaos, typified in the following excerpt: "(a) woman, in red, was kissing her little girl, who had no hands now, and kept lifting up the two stumps, first one and then the other, to see if she would not move" (24).

	A Note on the Origin of Memes/Mnemes
		Also, in an endnote in the second (1989) edition of The Selfish Gene, where he elaborates on a sentence in the main text of the book which reads "Memes should be regarded as living structures, not just metaphorically but technically".
		So I was relieved to receive recently a very interesting paper by Juan Delius of the University of Konstanz in Germany, [who] is bold enough to ram home the point by actually publishing a detailed picture of what the neuronal hardware of a meme might look like" (Dawkins, 1989, p.323).
		To repeat, it is hard to believe that Dawkins was not at least aware of Maeterlinck (who also wrote The Life of the Bee, which my copy shows went into 34 printings [in English] between 1901 and 1948), and this author's use of the term `mneme'.

	Maeterlinck, M.; Howard, R., trans.: Hothouses: Poems, 1889.
		The poems, whose English translations appear opposite the French originals, are accompanied by reproductions of seven woodcuts by Georges Minne that appeared in the original volume, and by an early prose text by Maeterlinck imaginatively describing a painting by the sixteenth-century Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel.
		Maeterlinck's enormous fame may have faded, but twentieth-century writers such as Beckett are still our masters who testify to its undying influence.

		It looks as though Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian dramatist, essayist, Nobel Laureate and amateur entomologist, might have come up with the idea of a meme in 1927.
		John Laurent has pointed out that Maeterlinck's version of the term was "mneme", derived from the Greek for I remember mimnesko.
		Maeterlinck coined the term in a study on the social life of termites and other social insects (ants, bees etc.).

	PlaybillArts: Features: The Burden of Liberty
		Maeterlinck was a leading exponent of Symbolism, the literary movement that gave priority to indirection and rippling associations of sensations and ideas.
		Contrast Maeterlinck's mythic settings and characters--"a forest" for Pelléas et Mélisande, "a vast, sumptuous hall in Bluebeard's castle" for Ariane--with the gritty specificity (1820 Seville, a brigadier from the provinces, a gypsy cigarette girl) of Bizet's Carmen, inspired by Prosper Mérimée's once-shocking novella of the same name.
		Ariane does not achieve all her aims--the subtitle of Maeterlinck's libretto is "La Délivrance inutile" or "The Useless Rescue"--but she is alive and compassionate, a creature of the light unafraid of the "burden of liberty." Modern audiences can learn much from her and from Maeterlinck and Dukas' wondrous opera.
