गाना खत्म हो चुका था। शब्द डेविड के थे; हवा, ग्रामीण इलाकों में से एक। शराब के लिए भुगतान किए गए युवा कवि के लिए कंपनी ने सराय टेबल के बारे में दिल से सराहना की। केवल नोटरी, एम। पापिन्यू ने अपने सिर को लाइनों में हिलाया, क्योंकि वह पुस्तकों का आदमी था, और उसने बाकी के साथ शराब नहीं पी थी। डेविड गाँव की गली में गया, जहाँ रात की हवा ने उसके सिर से शराब की भाप निकाली। और फिर उसे याद आया कि उसने और यवोन ने उस दिन झगड़ा किया था, और उसने उस रात अपने घर को छोड़ने का संकल्प किया था और बाहर की महान दुनिया में प्रसिद्धि पाने के लिए। "जब मेरी कविताएँ हर आदमी की ज़ुबान पर हैं," उसने ख़ुद से कहा, "वह शायद इस दिन बोलने वाले कठिन शब्दों के बारे में सोचेगी।" सराय में सवारों को छोड़कर, गांव के लोगों को छोड़ दिया गया था। दाऊद ने अपने पिता की कुटिया के शेड में अपने कमरे में धीरे से भोजन किया और अपने कपड़ों की एक छोटी दुकान बना ली। एक कर्मचारी के साथ, उसने अपने चेहरे को वर्नॉय से चलने वाली सड़क पर स्थापित किया। उसने अपने पिता की भेड़ों के झुंड को पास कर दिया, उनकी रात की कलम में छिपी हुई भेड़ें - वह भेड़ें जिन्हें वह रोज झुंडता था, उन्हें बिखेरने के लिए छोड़ देता था जबकि वह कागज़ के टुकड़ों पर छंद लिखती थी। उन्होंने यवोन की खिड़की में अभी तक एक प्रकाश चमकता देखा, और एक कमजोरी ने अचानक उनके उद्देश्य को हिला दिया। शायद उस रौशनी का मतलब था कि वह रोई, नींद हराम, उसका गुस्सा और वह सुबह-शायद, नहीं उसका निर्णय हो गया। वर्नॉय उसके लिए कोई जगह नहीं थी। वहां कोई भी आत्मा अपने विचारों को साझा नहीं कर सकती थी। उस सड़क के साथ अपने भाग्य और अपने भविष्य को रखना।
