Visitekaartje aan Philip Zilcken before 1919

This is Maurice Maeterlinck's "Visitekaartje aan Philip Zilcken," a calling card rendered in ink. The letters dance across the card, each stroke deliberate yet full of feeling. I can just imagine Maeterlinck hunched over his desk, pen in hand, lost in thought as he composes this message. There’s a real sense of intimacy here, right? It reminds me of Cy Twombly's handwriting—allusive and open-ended. The ink bleeds slightly into the paper, softening the edges of the words. It’s a quiet piece, but the energy is palpable. I wonder what they were talking about, Maeterlinck and Zilcken. I imagine them discussing poetry, maybe even sharing a laugh over some shared secret. It's a glimpse into a personal relationship, a small gesture that speaks volumes about connection and communication.
