About this book
The Treasure of the Humble is by Maurice Maeterlinck, translated by Alfred Sutro with an introduction by A. B. Walkley. The contents list names Silence, The Awakening of the Soul, Mystic Morality and On Women, among others.
The text says M. Maeterlinck puts forward a plea, and a plea not lightly to be dismissed, for a new æsthetic of the drama. The text says M. Maeterlinck boldly asks whether a static theatre is impossible, a theatre of mood not of movement, a theatre where nothing material happens and where everything immaterial is felt. The text says Sophocles indicates the character of his heroes by means of the lightest and quickest of touches. The text asks whether the idea we each form of certain chosen ones is not what constitutes the only living, effective morality.
