With the footnote about two omitted chapters in the first book edition of Pomladni dan in 1953 and with the publication of Pot v Tolmin with a subtitle Izpuščeno poglavje iz Pomladnega dne (The omitted chapter from Pomladni dan) in a journal the same year, the author set up a puzzle about the second chapter, which cannot be reliably solved without preserved sources. However, this enigma gives impetus for various hypotheses, simultaneous reading of all Kosmač's texts, and intertextual analysis. Departing from the hypothesis that Ozimina is the second omitted chapter of Pomladni dan, the author analyzes the relationship between the two texts, in the process of which the texts shed light on each other and imbue each other with meaning.
