George Agostinho Baptista da Silva, GCSE was a Portuguese philosopher, essayist, and writer. His thought combines elements of pantheism and millenarism, an ethic of renunciation, and a belief in freedom as the most important feature of man.

The time has come to prepare ourselves for new voyages, for the casting off of moorings is at hand; and, although we know the cross is eternal in this world of ours, perhaps it best be substituted in the unfurling sails throughout the fleur-de-lis of the North of maps, with Queen Isabel’s Holy Spirit and the perfect Trinity. The woman is very close to Nature; she has the same enchantment and the same dangers.
