hey all,
I have the following sentence:
' The result may be the drying up of the imaginations of the people on which we depend'
I can't get the meaning of "drying up the imaginations"
Could you please help me ?
thanks
They lose their ability to imagine. Simple as that.
It is called a "metaphor". Streams, rivers and lakes "dry up", and after that there is no more water.
When your imagination "dries up" you will have no more original thoughts.
