Summary/Abstract: The article has to be understood as a first introduction on Maurice Maeterlinck’s influence on Bolesław Leśmian’s work in general. The topic being quite broad, the focus is on theater and more precisely on the connection between Pelleas and Melisande (1892) and Possessed Violin Player (1911–1912). In order to understand this intertextual parallel, biographical and historical context as well as theoretic and philosophical relations is also examined in the first and the second parts of the article. The comparison reveals striking connections, relying mainly on theater which aims to be exclusively suggestive.
