It was founded by Max Waller, and after 1889, when Verhaeren became associated with it, the French Symbolists began appearing regularly in its pages.

Brussels, etc., Vol. 1-53, No. 1, 1884 - July/Sept. 1914
Founded and first edited by Fernand Brouez, this journal was one of the major fixtures in Belgian literary and cultural circles. It crossed paths with Symbolism particularly during the years 1892 - 1895, when contributions by Gustave Kahn, Régnier, Saint-Pol-Roux, and Viélé-Griffin frequently marked its pages. Like Mercure de France, its scope was much broader than literature alone, as its sub-title testifies. Its pages included some of the early French translations of Nietzsche.
