All creation necessarily ends in this: Creators, powerless, fleeing from the things they have wrought.

Summary

This quote suggests that regardless of what one creates, there is a sense of powerlessness or resignation that comes with it. It implies that creators often find themselves overwhelmed or burdened by the consequences of their creations, and in response, they seek to distance themselves or escape from what they have brought into existence. It underscores the idea that creation is not always a joyful or fulfilling experience, but can also carry emotional and psychological weight that drives creators away.
