Maeterlinck Maurice
Alfred Sutro OBE (August 7, 1863, London – 1933) was a British author and dramatist. He was a translator and friend of Maeterlinck. Educated at the City of London School and in Brussels, he began his career with a series of translations of Maeterlinck's works, all of which except the dramas he translated from the French. Afterward turning his attention to the drama, he at first collaborated with Arthur Bourchier in producing The Chili Widow (1896), then wrote in rapid succession The Cave of Illusion (1900), Arethusa (1903), A Marriage Has Been Arranged (1904), and finally made a great success with The Walls of Jericho, produced at the Garrick Theatre, London, on October 21, 1904. Sutro married Esther Stella Isaacs, the sister of the 1st Marquess of Reading, in 1894.

Excerpt from book: Translator's Note Our Eternity is a very considerable extension of the essay on Death which was published as a separate work in 1911 and which is now superseded by the present volume. Chapters IF to Fill are entirely new and the author has added largely to all the other chapters. The translation of those portions of the book which have already appeared in print has been revised from end to end. In the reports of conversations held through mediums at various spiritualistic sittings, I have quoted the ipsissima verba of the speakers. A. T. De M. Chelsea, 6 May, 1913.

There is no reality, there is no true duration, save that between the cradle and the grave. The rest is mere bombast, show, delusion! They call me a master because of some magic in my speech andthoughts; but I am a frightened child in the presence of death!"1 That is where we stand. For us, death is the one event that counts in our life and in our universe. It is the point whereat all that escapes our vigilance unites and conspires against our happiness. The more our thoughts struggle to turn away from it, the closer do they press around it. The more we dread it, the more dreadful it becomes, for it but thrives on our fears. He who seeks to forget it has his memory filled with it; he who tries to shun it meets naught else. It clouds everything with its sha...
