About this book

The Flemish mystic Ruysbroeck, called the Admirable, is the subject of this essay by Maurice Maeterlinck, which began as the introduction to his French rendering of The Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage, published in Brussels in 1891. Jane T. Stoddart translated it into English in 1894 and added passages from Ruysbroeck himself.

Maeterlinck is frank that the older writer is clumsy, repetitive and short on order, yet he credits him with pages beyond the reach of Plato. The selections carry headings such as the kingdom of the soul, the lesson from the bee, the dew of mid-day and the soul's hunger for God.
