Question

He talked on for ever; and you wished him to talk on for ever.

?

Answer 1

where is it from? it may mean that on person said they would talk forever, and another hoped they would keep to thier word

Answer 2

It sounds like one person is relating to a third person about that 'him' in an admiring manner and saying that his speech and the content (assumingly) was so wonderful that one would never like him to stop speaking.

If the context is known, a couple of other meanings could be drawn, especially if someone has used it ironically, but on face value, it doesnot sound like anything of the sort.

Answer 3

I think it means that you really want to hear what he says. You're really interested in his views~ almost an adoring sort of way.
