David Selznick and Since You Went Away "I have a different concept of producing than other producers. Some producers are money men, and others are just lieutenants.

I can see how she is recognizing in this passage that the musician has “languid” (12) moments, moments that are relaxed, unhurried, and slow. The
Love and Desire in A Midsummer Night’s Dream Some of the most prominent themes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream are the omnipresence of love and desire and the tendencies of characters to manifest their defining traits.
