1919
Maurice Maeterlinck
1919
Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos
A fairy play written in the early 20th century. It serves as a sequel to ''The Blue Bird,'' continuing the story of Tyltyl, a young boy embarking on a significant journey to find love. The narrative explores themes of love, choice, and destiny, with Tyltyl being guided by the fairy Berylune as he navigates his feelings and relationships with several young girls. At the start of the play, Tyltyl is visited by the fairy Berylune, who returns to help him recognize his true love among a group of girls who mysteriously appear in his cottage. As Tyltyl grapples with his feelings, he encounters both familiar characters and new figures, revealing a blend of innocence and the complexity of first love. The fairy's guidance emphasizes the importance of understanding true love, while Tyltyl's reluctance and uncertainty reflect the pressures of choice and expectation in shaping his future happiness.
