WISDOM AND DESTINY
By MAURICE MAETERLINCK
Translated by ALFRED SUTRO
TO GEORGETTE LEBLANC OFFER THIS BOOK, WHEREIN HER THOUGHT BLENDS
WITH MINE
INTRODUCTION
This essay on Wisdom and Destiny was to have been a thing of some
twenty pages, the work of a fortnight; but the idea took root,
others flocked to it, and the volume has occupied M. Maeterlinck
continuously for more than two years. It has much essential kinship
with the "Treasure of the Humble," though it differs therefrom in
treatment; for whereas the earlier work might perhaps be described
as the eager speculation of a poet athirst for beauty, we have here
rather the endeavour of an earnest thinker to discover the abode of
truth.
