Presentation transcript:

Ivory Tower The French poet, Alfred de Vigny, was said to have shut himself in an ivory tower so that he could compose his poems. Ivory towers are also mentioned in various 18 th century fairy tales.

Meaning The term thus refers to a beautiful, unreachable place. It has come to have negative connotations of being out of touch with reality. A person who is secluded or protected from the real world and thus out of touch with reality is said to be residing in an “ivory tower.”

Examples The engineers feared that the leaders of the company, sitting in their ivory tower, did not understand why the people in the field needed increased resources to insure the new bridge truly would be safe. In his ivory tower the chancellor was unaware of the growing political protests occurring on the college campus. He still believed fraternity house pranks were the most serious problem facing the university.
