meaning of crystal stair?

Answers

Answered by abhishek8732

Answer:

The unstated comparison is between life and a set of steps that has by no means been "crystal"—a metaphor itself meaning that the stairs do not belong to a person whose life has been privileged (only well-to-do people own crystal glassware; a crystal staircase would indeed be extravagant).
