Quote by G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb
Here take back the stuff that I am, nature, knead it back into the dough of being, make of me a bush, a cloud, whatever you will, even a man, only no longer make me.
Summary
This quote expresses a desire to return to a state of pure existence as a part of nature, free from the complexities and constraints of personal identity. The speaker is asking to be reshaped and merged with the natural world, relinquishing their individuality in the process. They are open to being transformed into any form, as long as they are no longer a distinct, separate entity. It reflects a longing for a dissolution of the self and a longing to blend harmoniously with the universe.
