Insatiable....................................

     The poets have numbered among the felicities of the golden age, an exemption from the change of seasons, and a perpetuity of spring;  but I am not certain that in this state of imaginary happiness they have made sufficient provision for that insatiable demand of new gratifications, which seems particularly to characterise the nature of man.
-Samuel Johnson,   as excerpted from The Rambler
