The crystal is a solid in which the constituents are organized in a well-defined three-dimensional pattern, which is repeated in space, forming a transparent, delicate, fragile structure, with a specific geometry, and which obliges those who relate to it to have a relationship analogous to its own characteristics.
When handling the crystal, care is inevitable so as not to drop it in the air and, in the imminence of a disaster, everything reduces the speed to a cinematic movement. The crystal materializes the imminence of the end, just as the actor on the scene is constantly on the edge of the abyss.

«Keeping myself intact, like a transparent crystal, for what? But let us not imitate Jeremiah… only in the soul does the mud go out; the one with which we are splashed, comes out with clean water.»
-in Diary of the Last Year, Florbela Espanca
«What did I like about you? It was a crystal
my soul. Then an embarrassment.
Bitterness changed with tiredness,
and our love ended, sad and banal.»
-in Former days, Virginia Vitorino
