Can someone explain this quote to me?

[blackemerald1]

For me it's a capitulation, letting go and no longer feeling responsible.

Sounds strange to write that without the context etc.,

Oh art... !!

 

[Abstract]

For me it is the giving up of meeting expectations and wanting freedom to be me and be with my feelings. Away from even Gods expectations, if I believed in them. My experience of it is a desire for total privacy and an out. A WANT to be even be forgotten by God. Total acceptance and peace in self if that be misery or not. A safe space away from the world.

I'm having a question about a quote I once came across in a film called "Anon". I pretty much got fascinated by this quote but I am unable to grasp it fully. I checked in the internet but not much Info was given.


It goes like this:

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.

• Robert Browning

Any bright mind is able to explain this to me?

Thanks

I read it thru a few times. So, I can only see it thru my own eyes.
"I give the fight up" (I surrender)
"Let there be an end" (I want the pain to end)
" A privacy, an obscure nook for me" (a place to hide)
"I want to be forgotten, even by God" (I see myself as no one)

Sounds like a fight to be insignificant, unrelied on and hidden away. Possibly to die peacefully, leave no mourners behind
