Thoreau concludes his
Conclusion with the belief that the resurrection of humanity will occur. He speaks of the life
within us that is like water that is about to rise higher than it ever has before. He then
speaks of a new and wondrous bug that came out of a wooden table belonging to a farmer after the
bug had burrowed in the wood for untold years. He feels that people, like the bug who was long
buried, will arise out of the dullness of society. He likens the dullness and deadliness of
society to the stifling layers of wood that surrounded this bug and states that people can find
their way out of this wood to find something greater. While he does not think every person will
realize the greatness of which humans are capable, he feels that a brighter and longer day will
eventually arise on earth.
