In these lines from the conclusion of Walden,
Thoreau reflects upon how people create their own
imaginary boundaries when they are no real ones. They feel that they are bound to the
town that they are in; they are bound to the position in which they are. His
Transcendental philosophy is expressed here as Thoreau urges people to develop their
inner selves:
Direct your eye right invward, and you'll find A
thousand regions in you mind yet undiscovered. Travel them, and be expert in
home-cosmography.
In his
conclusion to Walden, Henri David Thoreau urges his readers to look
inward and explore their souls and individuality. They should investigate new regions
of thought and experience, developing into individuals who have traveled spiritually and
lived life deliberately.
