Meaning of “the fears of the fishing-rod of Utopia” in Forgetting by Robert Lynd Tell me what the following line means from Forgetting by Robet Lynd: > _The fishing-rod of reality is forgotten by him as he day-dreams over the fears of the fishing-rod of Utopia._ Especially, “the fears of the fishing-rod of Utopia”.

The line is mistranscribed. It is

> ... the feats of the fishing-rod of Utopia.

When _feats_ is replaced by _fears_ , the line does not make very much sense.

And in case you're still confused, what the actual line means is that he forgets about the real fishing-rod while he's thinking about all the amazing things that the imaginary fishing-rod of Utopia has done.
