Au départ, "L'Arlésienne" est une nouvelle d'Alphonse Daudet extraite des "Lettres de mon moulin" qui deviendra au fil du temps une pièce de théâtre en trois actes, pour laquelle Bizet a composé une œuvre spécifique. De cette pièce est tirée l'expression "l'Arlésienne". En effet, le personnage de l'Arlésienne est le centre de l'intrigue. Cependant, elle n'apparaît jamais sur la scène. On appelle donc "l'Arlésienne" une chose dont on se préoccupe beaucoup, mais qui n'apparaît jamais.

Just because he saved her life he thinks it gives him permission to meddle in it. He’s determined to save her from herself. Problem is she thinks she’s beyond saving. She’s beautiful, intelligent, and the sexiest woman Eli had ever laid eyes on, and she turns him down flat when he asks her out. That doesn’t happen to him often. Or ever.
