Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gleanings From Maeterlinck In the first act of the Blue Bird, the fairy Berylune sends Mytyl and Tyltyl in search of happiness. Shepherded and protected by Light, they explore the Past and the Future, the Palace of Night, the Kingdoms of the Dead and of the Unborn. At one moment they find themselves hi a graveyard; and Mytyl grows fearful at her first contact with the great mystery of Death. Yet the graveyard with its wooden crosses and grass-covered mounds is moonlit and tranquil; and of a sudden, as the revealing diamond is turned in Tyltyl´s fingers, even the tombstones and all the grand investiture of death disappear, to be replaced by luxuriant, swaying clusters of Madonna lilies. "Where are the dead?" asks Mytyl, in amazement, searching in the grass for traces of even one tombstone. Her brother also looks: "There are no dead," is his reply. Any one who was present on the first night of the play at the Haymarket Theatre, in 1909, will not easily forget the audiences little gasp of delighted surprise. Yet the two lines of dialogue were more than a stage effect, more than an aspect of mysticism; almost they may be regarded as the essence of Maeterlinck´s later work.
