Marie Gevers (30 December 1883 – 9 March 1975) was a Belgian novelist.

She was born in Edegem, near Antwerp. Educated by her mother, she had a special interest in literature. Very early in life, she composed bucolic poetry, encouraged by Verhaeren. Married in 1908 to Jan Frans Willems and mother of Paul Willems, she dedicated her entire life to her family. In fact, one of the distinctive traits of her poetry was the love of her origins and familial roots.

In 1917 her first anthology, Missenbourg, was published. Later, around 1930, she began to focus on writing in prose: Madame Orpha ou la sérénade de mai (1933), Guldentop (1934) and La ligne de vie (1937) continue this constant interest in the little people and life in Antwerp.

Quotes by Marie Gevers (?)

“Les années d'enfance foisonnent en floraisons; chacun pourrait en tirer vingt récits différents, comme on compose vingt bouquets de fleurs diverses d'une même prairie.”

“Les moments naissent un à un de la nuit, poursuivent, souples et noirs, quelque mystérieuse besogne, et saisis tout vifs par le temps sont jetés, chauds encore, comme les taupes, dans le sac du passé.”

“Les mois s'ouvrent comme les fleurs de navets, en quatre pétales de semaines; les jours de la semaine, comme des étamines, entourent les pistils dorés des dimanches. Peut-être que les mois ne sont eux-mêmes que les feuilles des saisons: quatre trèfles par an; et les saisons forment les quatre pétales d'une immense crucifère, l'année. Elles fleurissent, se fanent, refleurissent...”
