Others moved in to chat really, really close and draped their arms around my shoulders lingeringly.

A scene where she dresses like a woman and lounges, pretend-smoking, on a deck chair reminds us that memories of her mother are lingeringly lucid.

The Brentano ensemble preceded the Schoenberg with Mozart's "Dissonance" Quartet (so called for its eerie, slow introduction) and Respighi's "Il tramanto" for soprano and quartet from 1914, a contemporary piece to Schoenberg's quartet but extremely different: tonally plush and lingeringly Romantic.

After I had slowly and lingeringly eaten every last bite of a slice wider than the palm of my hand, they would put me to bed upstairs, in the big cozy bedroom where my mother and her sisters had used to sleep as girls, in the same narrow wooden bed carved with doves.

'Not much longer now,' we would say, as we switched it off."Ch 12 Ratweek As the Red Army was advancing on Belgrade, he reflected again on the song. "At Valjevo, as at so many other places [...] we would tune our wireless sets in the evening to Radio Belgrade, and night after night, always at the same time, would come, throbbing lingeringly over the ether, the cheap, sugary and almost painfully nostalgic melody, the sex-laden, intimate, heart-rending accents of Lili Marlene.

Alexei's servants were beheaded or had their tongues cut out. All this was done to terrorize the reactionaries and isolate the tsarevich. In April 1718 fresh confessions were extorted from, and in regard to, Alexei.

Beckett, S., From An Abandoned Work, Six Residua, Beckett Short No 5, p 16 His behaviour is obsessive, he has a propensity towards self-harm ("beating [his] head against [things])" and he garners some comfort from suicidal thoughts ("walking furious headlong into fire") but mainly from the inevitability that one day he will die anyway and all this will be over ("Oh I know I too shall cease to be as when I was not yet"). This evokes one of the central themes of all Beckett's work: Life may not be death but it is dying ("Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the grave digger puts on the forceps."Beckett, S., Waiting for Godot, pp 90,91 – Waiting for Godot).
