Summary

This quote suggests that travel has different effects on individuals depending on their level of wisdom or knowledge. It argues that wise individuals are more likely to gain wisdom through travel experiences, as they actively seek to learn and understand different cultures, people, and perspectives. On the other hand, the ignorant, who lack curiosity and openness, may not benefit from travel and might even become more ignorant as they fail to appreciate and comprehend the new experiences and learning opportunities presented to them.

The sobs and tears of joy he had not foreseen rose with such force within him that his whole body shook and for a long time prevented him from speaking. Falling on his knees by her bed. He held his wife's hand to his lips and kissed it, and her hand responded to his kisses with weak movement of finger. Meanwhile, at the foot of the bed, in the midwife's expert hands, like the flame of a lamp, flickered the life of a human being who had never existed before...
