Original artwork, not a still
Paracelsus · 1835
I give the fight up: let there be an end, A privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker surrenders the struggle and asks for it to end, wanting a hidden corner of privacy. The final wish is extreme: to be forgotten by everyone, even God. The lines sound exhausted and withdrawn, longing for obscurity as relief from striving.
