Someone might know it please, this wonderful 30 secs soundtrack in a French movie: a young man on a train contemplating lost love, some voice-over goes:

To write, one must travel unknown worlds, meet unknown peoples
One must walk strange city streets
One must …
One must …
One must sit at the bedside of someone dying, the sounds of night outside the window
Then and only then does the very first syllable of a first word suggest itself.

Something like that.
