Maeterlinck (1862–1949) was a Belgian playwright awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911. Moore (1779–1852) was a famed Irish poet and songwriter best known for ‘The Last Rose of Summer.’ Three letters: one ALS, in French, signed “Maeterlinck,” two pages on adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 7, Les Abeilles letterhead, December 16, 1913, a letter to an admirer, in part (translated): “I don’t really know what I can do to help you. I have neither a theater nor a ‘school’ as you believe. And I’m rarely performed in France and England. Therefore what do you want me to do?…if you’re ever in Nice, come and see me. We’ll talk. We’ll examine the problem, and in any case, we’ll become good friends.”; one ALS signed “Thomas Moore,” one page both sides, 4.5 x 7.25, November 23, 1841, recommending that a neighbor’s position be moved to a seaport due to his delicate health; and an unsigned partial ALS from Maeterlinck’s widow, Renee Dahon, in French, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 8.25, July 10, 1949, expressing her grief after Maeterlinck’s death. In small part: “On the Terrace of Melisande at Orlamonde my eyes are filled with tears every day in the shadow of the tomb.” Maeterlinck letter in very good condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds, the vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature, scattered creases, and overall toning; other letters in fine condition, with scattered toning and a couple brushes to ink.
