获奖
1911 年诺贝尔文学奖授予 莫里斯·梅特林克，官方获奖理由（官方原文）：“in appreciation of his many-sided 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”[1]。
