It is clear that he finds solace and joy in immersing himself within the pages of his beloved newspaper. The title itself, "He loved to linger on that leaf" adds an intriguing layer of depth to this artwork. It invites viewers to ponder not only the literal act of lingering but also metaphorically reflects upon our own human nature - our tendency to savor moments or ideas that captivate us.
