The impulse of the traveler for pleasure, apart from gain, is, in every variety of degree, to satisfy his craving for the ideal, or to drug his craving by the belief that it is being satisfied…But, as Giplin puts it, it “amuses” him to pursue. It is the expectation of new scenes, perhaps the ideal scene, opening to his view that sets him off and keeps him going. It is the Pleasure of Hope, per se.
Christopher Hussey, Picturesque.
