It is an odd sort of seeking that allows no finding.
Somewhere in C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce, the narrator meets a character who insists on not believing he may ever arrive in either Heaven or Hell.He has several sayings which illustrate his mindset, including this: "It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive."Strange thought indeed, a seeking which denies that the quest is toward a goal.
That section figured prominently in the comments section there.Of humorous note, the character was an Anglican bishop.
