| Summary: | "Por esse crepusculo a morte de um fauno" was Augusto Ferreira Gomes's contribution to the third number of Orpheu, that was never published despite repeated attempts and announcements. Only in 1983 the typographical proofs of the number would be published in a photomechanical reproduction. This article transcribes and discusses the recently discovered manuscript of the text, in the context of the magazine's history, focusing on three points: the characterization of the text as ekphrasis, and the analysis of its expressive means; the imagery of the faun in contemporary European culture and Ferreira Gomes's possible cultural referents; and the omission of the dedication to the painter António Soares in the published version of the manuscript (1983, 1984).
