And it was truly sweet to linger there while the tapers continued marching past, and, after a turning movement, assembled on the Place du Rosaire.
Et ce fut adorable, pendant que le défilé des cierges continuait, et qu’ils se massaient tous en tournoyant sur la place du Rosaire.

As they were all going out again, he favoured her with one slight roll of his movable eye, desiring her to linger behind.
Comme tout le monde se dirigeait vers la porte, ce dernier honora la jeune fille d’un léger roulement de son œil mobile : c’était une manière d’inviter Sissy à rester un instant en arrière.

On these occasions Benedetta was usually the first to return to the house, and Pierre would linger alone under the laurels, vaguely dreaming of sweet, sad things.
D’ordinaire, Benedetta remontait la première à son appartement, et Pierre s’attardait parfois, restait seul sous le laurier, dans le léger parfum de femme qu’elle laissait. Il rêvait confusément à des choses douces et tristes.

It is like an implacable, devouring piece of machinery. First, the tip of the linger is caught, then the hand is drawn in, then the arm, and finally the whole body is ground to pieces.
C'est la machine implacable, l'engrenage qui pince le bout du doigt, attire la main, dévore le bras, broie le corps....

Macbeth we may well pass by; not need we linger over Cordelia's father, for his absence of consciousness is all too manifest; but Hamlet, Hamlet the thinker--is he wise?
