Selos de Portugal 2022 175 anos Grémio Literário sculpture art design cultura culture hall de entrada
2022 - Sobrescrito circulado em correio normal de Lisboa para Estoi com selo de taxa N20g da emissão 175 anos do Grémio Literário obliterado pela flamula ondulada do CTC Sul datada de 05/05/2022.
LE GRÉMIO LITERÁRIO a été fondé en 1846 par les personalités principales de la société libérale portugaise, écrivains, dirigeants politiques et personnalités du monde aristocratique. Trente ans plus tard, il s’installa dans le Palais Loures, au Chiado, centre intellectuel et mondain de Lisbonne, édifice représentatif de l’architecture romantique locale, avec ses salons décorés, sa riche bibliothèque, son restaurant, son rare jardin datant de 1844, son paysage ouvert sur le Tage et le château des Maures.Une activité littéraire et mondaine spécifique, caractéristique de la société fin de siècle et Belle Époque, avec son cercle, ses équipes d’escrime et d’échecs, est évoquée dans les oeuvres d’écrivains célèbres dont Eça de Queirós. C’est aussi dans les salles du Grémio Literário qui fut réalisée la première exposition d’art moderne portugais, en 1912. Vers le milieu du vingtième siècle, le Grémio, après la luxueuse rénovation de ses installations et de son restaurant, connut un nouvel essor, promouvant des spectacles de la Comédie Française, invitant le Président Valéry Giscard d’Estaing pour une conférence demeurée célèbre en 1969. Un Centre d’Études du XIXe siècle fut alors créé, réalisant cours, conférences et colloques internationaux. Plus récemment, Grémio programme régulièrement des présentations d’écrivains, des concerts, et des commémorations de faits historico-culturels – ce qui lui valut la Médaille d’Honneur de la Ville de Lisbonne. Lors de son 150ème anniversaire, en 1996, considéré comme étant d’«utilité publique» et comme «l’une des associations les plus anciennes d’Europe», il fut élevé à la catégorie de membre honoraire de l’Ordre de Santiago-da- Espada.Le Gremio Literario – qui a compté parmi ses membres plusieurs chefs d’Etat et Premiers Ministres – possède un vaste réseau de correspondants composé d’environ une centaine de cercles et de clubs en Europe, en Amérique et sur d’autres continents, avec lesquels il maintient des liens d’entente et d’hospitalité réciproques.En 2018, le Palais Loures, son jardin privé, ainsi que son patrimoine materiel et immateriel, ont été classés par le Ministère de la Culture Portugais comme un «Monument d’Interêt Publique». En cette même année, Grémio Literário a été recconnú par la Municipalité de Lisbonne, comme étant une Association d’Interêt Local et Historique.

The Legend of Pêro Botelho’s Caldera
A little moral tale, recounting the punishment for a sulphurous temper. Silence is what Pêro Botelho gets back in return whenever he begs “Get me out of here! Get me out of here!”, from the bottom of the Furnas cave, on the island of São Miguel, where he has been trapped since immemorial time. A man of deplorable character, he had the habit, like the other inhabitants of the region, of boiling wicker and corn in volcanic calderas of boiling water. In one of them, which exudes a strong smell of sulphur, it was more common, however, to use its mud to cure various diseases, such as rheumatism. It is said that, one day, when going there to find the balsamic material, Pêro Botelho lost his footing and fell into the caldera. He attempted an appeal for help, but no one would have heard him. And he was never seen again. The only sign of life would be the cry for a hypothetical rescue.
Or, all things considered, a little more. For if anyone were to approach the warm cavity and call out to him, they would receive a smoky puff of stones, ashes and mud in response. In addition to the more or less recurrent plea, Pêro Botelho would respond in an ill-tempered manner to any attempt to engage in dialogue, even when kind-hearted. And when children and adults threw stones into the caldera, saying “Give us a sneeze, Pêro Botelho!”, they would be expelled back out at them. So, whenever anyone ap- proached the cavetofind the therapeutic mud, they were alwaysscaredofwhat might come from there. From then on, the residents of Povoação began to call the smoking orifice Caldeira de Pêro Botelho, or Pêro Botelho’s Caldera.
Legend of the Miracle of Our Lady of Nazaré
Salvation in extremis is what is often dreamt of in times of great distress. Or something to which, under such circumstances, the prayers of the most faithful are addressed. And that’s what helped Dom Fuas Roupinho on a certain foggy day. On 14 September 1182, the Captain-General of the Porto de Mós castle was hunting, when he sighted what appeared to be a deer. Excited at the prospect of good meat, he launched into fiery pursuit. So invested was he in the task that he only realised that he was on top of a cliff when the fall seemed all but inevitable. At the last moment however, his horse stood on its hind legs, which have been engraved there ever since. The image of the prey, which would ultimately turn out to be the devil, had vanished.
Dom Fuas Roupinho was rescued through the instant intervening salvation of Our Lady of Nazaré after having appealed to her in supplication. The image of the saint was hidden a little further down, in a small grotto located on the headland. Relieved by such a provident intervention, the knight dismounted, descended into the sacred hollow, fell to his knees and prayed in gratitude. Shortly afterwards he ordered the construction of a small church at the top of the cliff, the Chapel of the Memory (Ermida da Memória), where he placed this image.
The relic was already very old at the time. It was said to have been made by Saint Joseph, in the original village of Nazareth, in Palestine. A few centuries later, it would have been transferred to the Iberian Peninsula, to a monastery near Mérida. There it remained until the Arab invasion of 711. Trying to protect it, the Gothic King Rodrigo and the monk Frei Romano decided to take her with them towards the Atlantic coast. The grotto at the top of the cliff was the chosen location. And there it stayed until the miracle that saved Roupinho. After remaining in the evocative chapel that he had erected in 1182, in 1377 the image was moved to a new sanctuary that King Fernando I had decided to build and which would be rebuilt in the 17th century. It is there that, even today, the image of Our Lady is vener- ated. And it is from there that worship of Our Lady of Nazaré spread throughout the destinations of the Portuguese maritime explorers, thanks to her popularity among the peoples of the sea.
Legend of Machin
There is no historical evidence to prove it, but for a long time the narration of the facts that led to the discovery of the island of Madeira has had a much more poetic version than the usual description of the arrival of Tristão Vaz Teixeira and João Gonçalves Zarco, in 1419. According to the tale, it was the young Englishman Robert Machin, along with his beloved Anne of Arfet and some companions, who were the first to land there, in 1377.
Robert, a man of modest condition, frequented the court of King Edward III (1312-1377). It was there that he met the aristocrat Anne of Arfet, with whom he would fall in love. Their desire for marriage, however, was at odds with that of Anne’s relatives, who considered her only within the reach of a suitor from the nobility. This opposition led Robert Machin to decide to flee with his intended towards France, a country with which England maintained a long military conflict, which would come to be known as the Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453). The elopement took place on the eve of Anne’s arranged marriage.
On the high seas however, a strong storm blew the couple and the crew off course from their intended destination. After countless days lost at sea, they sighted land with lush vegetation and, once disem- barked, began to explore the island, looking for water and food. However, a new storm approached, forcing them to seek refuge among the roots of a massive tree. When the storm subsided, they real- ised that their boat had not weathered the storm and they had no way of getting out of there. Worse yet, shortly afterwards, weakened by the trip, Anne died.
Robert buried her next to the leafy tree where they had taken shelter, and erected a wooden cross to mark the spot. A week later, broken with grief, he too perished, being buried next to his beloved. As for the remaining crew members, some died, others were eventually captured by Moorish sailors and sold as slaves in North Africa. One of them was eventually rescued and his story reached the ears of the Portuguese, who, when they arrived on the island, years later, came across the cross and an inscription telling the couple’s saga. In honour of Machin, they named that region Machico.
