Count Maurice (Mooris) Polidore Marie Bernhard Maeterlinck
Became the 1911 Nobel Laureate in Literature: "in appreciation of his manysided literary activities, and especially of his dramatic works, which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy, which reveals, sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale, a deep inspiration, while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations."
