Literary authors employ “satiate” in varied and evocative ways to convey the notion of complete fulfillment or overwhelming excess. In certain contexts, satiation is depicted as a gratifying, almost sensual indulgence—that is, as when one is told to “satiate yourself” in a self-indulgent moment [1] or to have one’s desires quenched through love or beauty [2]. Other works turn the word towards darker or more complex ends, illustrating how martial bloodlust or unbridled ambition leaves little room for true satisfaction, as noted when the thirst for violence is deemed never-ending [3] or when unremitting war fails to fill a soul’s hunger [4]. In this way, authors transform “satiate” into a flexible term, capable of describing both the comestible and the metaphysical, from curbing curiosity [5] to feeding baser instincts [6].
