Such is the place Belgium attained in a day by one mad, magnificent, heroic leap into the azure. As long as the world rolls and men live, that long will Belgium be remembered. All the human world owes, and will owe Belgium a debt of gratitude, such as was never earned by any nation in the History of Nations. It is a magnificent debt, a proud debt that all the nations of men will sacredly acknowledge. 122 By ALFRED SUTRO I_HAVE translated many books of Maeterlinck's-I have wandered with him, among the canals of Bruges and the fragrant gardens of Gheiit I have seen the places where he dreamed of Pelléas and Mélisande and-the hives of the bees he loved.
