Summary

This quote suggests that the person being described possesses a clear and logical way of thinking, but this clarity comes at the expense of a rich and imaginative mind. The individual does not have to grapple with the overwhelming and bustling thoughts that come from a fertile imagination, as it appears that their thinking is more sterile. They lack the imaginative capacity to thoroughly explore different possibilities and envision unconventional ideas. While their lucidity may be advantageous in certain circumstances, it also means they may have difficulty thinking creatively or entertaining complex concepts.
