CB+fantasies+sun-drenched+in+beams

This line reminded me of the poem by Langston Hughes, Harlem. In that poem he questions what happens to dreams that are put away or forgotten, in which he gives metaphors to describe the dreams. In this poem, I can see the author describing the paths one takes through the course of their lives. In this particular phrase he takes the idea of a fantasy, and asks the reader what could become of it. It could flourish, or it could dry up in the sun, hence the sun drenched in beams. This is a very interesting, and effective way to describe this, which makes me, the reader really think about the comparison to fantasies and dreams, and what happens to them over time.
