A boyhood depressed Alphonse amid much truancy had. He spent his days mainly at Lyon, left in 1856, and began life as a schoolteacher at Alès, Gard, in the south. The position proved intolerable.

“Pain is always new to the sufferer, but loses its originality for those around him.”
― Alphonse Daudet

“Et comme j’essayais de lui expliquer ce que c’était que ces mariages, je sentis quelque chose de frais et de fin peser légèrement sur mon épaule. C’était sa tête alourdie de sommeil qui s’appuyait contre moi avec un joli froissement de rubans, de dentelles et de cheveux ondés. Elle resta ainsi sans bouger jusqu’au moment où les astres du ciel pâlirent, effacés par le jour qui montait. Moi, je la regardais dormir, un peu troublé au fond de mon être, mais saintement protégé par cette claire nuit qui ne m’a jamais donné que de belles pensées. Autour de nous, les étoiles continuaient leur marche silencieuse, dociles comme un grand troupeau ; et par moments je me figurais qu’une de ces étoiles, la plus fine, la plus brillante ayant perdu sa route, était venue se poser sur mon épaule pour dormir..”
― Alphonse Daudet, Lettres de mon moulin

“Lorsque je dormais loin de vous,
Dans un rêve toujours le même,
Je vous voyais à mes genoux
Me dire chaque nuit : « Je t’aime ! »
Maintenant que tu m’appartiens,
Dans les bras chaque nuit je rêve
Que tu pars, qu’un méchant t’enlève
Et que je meurs quand tu reviens”
― Alphonse Daudet
