Intoxicating.

Wyeth, N.C., Sea Fever, 1937


He who indulges habitually in the intoxicating pleasures of imagination, for the very reason that he reaps a greater pleasure than others, must resign himself to a keener pain, a more intolerable and utter prostration.

Robert Louis Stevenson, from Notes and Essays: Chiefly of the Road
