Guess the meaning behind this expression.​

Answer 1

Hey there!

Answer:

Let me rephrase the Question. The phrase is " Ideas have floated, but Hardly Infrastructure Implemented ".

               The meaning is is simply that there is planning, or thinking or brainstorming etc but the execution or implementation is not done of those Ideas. ''Infrastructure'' can mean- The required system of giving the task of execution to various people etc was not done.

Explanation:

This phrase is a kind of metaphor. It talks about the difference between Thinking/Planning and Execution/Implementation.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

$\texttt{\huge{\purple{\underline{MEANING}}}}$ :

" Ideas have floated, but hardy infrastructure implemented."

⛛ The above phrase means that Ideas which are developed in mind aren't yet put to work or implemented in reality.

In opposition, hardy infrastructure defines that those ideas are implemented to action that means they are put to work.

⛛ Here, ideas are contrasted with hardy infrastructure.

Poetic device used :

Oxymoron is used here which means " the ideas which opposes or contrasts each other."
