“Para o Céu cristalino alevantando
Com lágrimas os olhos piedosos,
Os olhos, porque as mãos lhe estava atando
Um dos duros ministros rigorosos;”

“Estavas, linda Inês, posta em sossego,
De teus anos colhendo doce fruto,
Naquele engano da alma, ledo e cego,
Que a fortuna não deixa durar muito,
Nos saudosos campos do Mondego,
De teus fermosos olhos nunca enxuto,
Aos montes ensinando e às ervinhas
O nome que no peito escrito tinhas.”
― Os Lusíadas

Two million nine hundred and seventy thousand small enterprises (employing up to five workers), representing 91 per cent of the total, utilise only 7 per cent of the steam and electric power. Tens of thousands of large-scale enterprises are everything; millions of small ones are nothing.”

“Robert Gildea and his associates wrote about the camps that were set up by the French government in 1938–39 along the Pyrenean frontier with Spain and in French North Africa to detain exiled Republican Spaniards and International Brigaders who were unable to return to their home states. The authors demonstrate how these camps soon became “crucibles for transnational resistance” once the Second World War broke out.”
