The phrase "the meaning of life is a barren field" suggests that life can sometimes feel empty or devoid of purpose. It evokes the idea that, like a barren field, there may be potential for growth and fulfillment that remains untapped. This imagery can reflect feelings of existential doubt or the search for meaning in a seemingly desolate existence. Ultimately, it underscores the human struggle to cultivate meaning in a world that may often feel unyielding.
I am assuming you are getting this from the Poem "Dreams", by Langston Hughes. DREAMS Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. This line is a metaphor, explaining that if you give up on your dreams, you have very little to live for to look forward to, and life is meaningless. It of course does this by comparing this life to "A barren field/Frozen with snow"
