Maeterlinck continued his treatment of death in his
next three plays, L'Intruse, Les Aveugles, and Les Sepnt
Princesses. All three plays were produced in 1891 (7, p. 60).
Also in 1891 his 1887 translation of Ruysbroeck's l'Ornement
des noces spirituelles was published (1, p. 17). The cul-
mination of his art in the symbolic theatre is represented
by Pelleas et Melisande, which was performed in May of 1893
at the Theltre des Bouffes-Parisiens (2, p. 60; 7, p. 60),
Here, for the first time, the characters are moved by love
rather than death (2, p. 60), The next year Maeterlinck had
three plays published together: Alladine ePallomides,
Interieur, and La Mort de Tinta Their secondary title
was "trois petits drames pour marionettes," which indicates
the invisible but powerful dominance experienced by the major
characters (2, pp. 59-60). Maeterlinck now undertook the
translations of the Disciples a Saais and the Fragments
of Novalis, which were published in 1895 (1, p. 17).
In that same year Maeterlinck met the beautiful and
talented actress, Georgette Leblanc. In 1896 he moved from
Ghent to the rue Raynouard in Paris, where he and Georgette
shared the same household and established a relationship that
lasted almost twenty-five years (1, p. 17; 8, p. 27). Their
marriage was announced in newspapers throughout the world and,
although some critics refer to Mlle. Leblanc as "Mme.
Maeterlinck," she denies in her memoirs that a marriage ever
took place (6, pp. 58, 61).
