It is as though he had forsaken the canals he loves so well--the green, calm, motionless canals that faithfully mirror the silent trees and moss-covered roofs--and had adventured boldly, unhesitatingly, on the broad river of life...

> LA SAGESSE ET LA DESTINÉE, par Maurice Maeterlinck. — « En une centaine de courts chapitres, ce livre de 1898 nourri de Ruysbroeck et d'Emerson, selon la préface, propose des esquisses de méditation sur la vie humaine. » - amazon.fr
-- Maeterlinck sait exprimer les fines nuances de notre morale. Avec la force d'un visionnaire, il pénètre les profondeurs de l'être et ce, avec un optimisme enthousiaste.
—Élisabeth Ricard, Montréal (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)
