Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther

Thomas Hood, a renowned English poet and humorist, once said, “Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther.” This quote speaks to the idea that while some individuals may broaden their horizons and expand their perspectives through travel and new experiences, others may become more closed-minded and rigid in their thinking.
