A craving for extraordinary incident

The most effective of these causes are the great national events which are daily taking place, and the increasing accummulation of men in cities, where the uniformity of their occupations produces a craving for extraordinary incident, which the rapid communication of intelligence hourly gratifies.

William Wordsworth, Preface to Lyrical Ballads (1800)
