From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Pleasant \Pleas"ant\, a. [F. plaisant. See {Please}.]

agreeable; as a pleasant journey; pleasant weather.

From grave to light, from pleasant to serve.
--Dryden.
Syn: Pleasing; gratifying; agreeable; cheerful; good-humored;
enlivening; gay; lively; merry; sportive; humorous;
jocose; amusing; witty.
Usage: {Pleasant}, {Pleasing}, {Agreeable}. Agreeable is
applied to that which agrees with or is in harmony
with one's tastes, character, etc Pleasant and
pleasing denote a stronger degree of the agreeable.
Pleasant refers rather to the state or condition;
pleasing, to the act or effect. Where they are applied
to the same object, pleasing is more energetic than
pleasant; as she is always pleasant and always
pleasing. The distinction, however, is not radical and
not rightly observed.

pleasant evening together"; "a pleasant scene";
