It reminds me of something Odysseus says in The Odyssey...
"What you most want is what you most can't have. And what you most can't have is what you already had and lost."

In ancient Babylonia and the broader Mesopotamian culture, grasshoppers (and their swarming phase, locusts) held a multi-layered, dual meaning. They represented both a positive symbol of fertility and abundance and a destructive force of nature used in divination and dietary sustenance.
In their solitary, non-destructive form, grasshoppers were viewed by Babylonians as symbols of the natural cycle, fertility, and abundance. Because they appeared in large numbers during agricultural cycles, they were tied to the life-giving forces of the earth.
This famous example is a beautifully detailed, nearly 4,000-year-old Babylonian stone weight carved from hematite in the shape of a grasshopper (c. 1800–1700 BCE). Used in markets for fair trade transactions, the grasshopper shape on the weight likely invoked blessings of agricultural prosperity and nature.
When solitary grasshoppers crowded together and transformed into swarming locusts, their meaning shifted drastically. To the Babylonians, a locust swarm was a catastrophic event that could strip fields bare and cause widespread famine.
Babylonians were deeply invested in astrology and divination. Grasshopper and locust behavior was carefully documented in cuneiform omen series (such as the Šumma Ālu). A swarm of grasshoppers appearing in a specific city or flying in a particular direction was interpreted as a direct message or warning from the gods, usually predicting economic ruin, military invasion, or divine displeasure.
Despite the threat they posed to crops, grasshoppers were heavily utilized by Babylonians in daily practical life.
Babylonians actively harvested locusts and grasshoppers for food. Cuneiform records show that mass amounts of these insects were caught, preserved in brine, and transported over hundreds of kilometers to be eaten as a protein-rich delicacy or everyday staple.

কোথায় হারিয়ে গেল ব্যাবিলনের ঝুলন্ত উদ্যান? | Ancient Babylon Mystery

প্রাচীন বিশ্বের বিস্ময়গুলোর তালিকায় এই রহস্যময় উদ্যানের নাম বহুবার উঠে এসেছে। কিন্তু সবচেয়ে আশ্চর্যের বিষয় হলো- আজও প্রত্নতাত্ত্বিকরা নিশ্চিতভাবে বলতে পারেন না, উদ্যানটি আসলে কোথায় ছিল, কীভাবে তৈরি হয়েছিল, কিংবা আদৌ ব্যাবিলনে এর অস্তিত্ব ছিল কি না!
