I don't think it has a literal meaning; it feels like he is trying to suggest that such a person will never attain to the highest (spiritual) realm?
You could be right there, actually. I suppose "polar bar" could mean something like "the highest (and ultimate) barrier".
I've no clue, I always thought it a poetic license. But I do like that horse armor.
Two hundred year old typo?
