The word TRANSIÇÂO, written in the cloister of the former Convent of Sâo Domingos, converted into a library, speaks to us of the passing of time. That nothing is eternal and everything changes.
In a small street in the center of Abrantes, we find the word SILÊNCIO, which takes us to the Portuguese calm portrayed by the Abrante poet Mário Rui Cordeiro in his poem “Paixao das viagens”.
«…a distância ama o horizonte, o criminoso ama o seu crime preferido, não há amor diante dum espelho que se quebra, a matéria redopia para que o espírito das mãos a toque com amor, uma palavra ama o silêncio».
