"The pines still stand here older than I; or, if some have fallen, I have cooked my supper with their stumps, and a new growth is rising all around, preparing another aspect for new infant eyes." p.124
(R) He seems to be saying that the same pines he familiarized himself with when he was a child are still present in his life or have been present at some point, and that a completely new set of pines is getting ready to be viewed by a future generation. I think it's really amazing that two people, separated by time, can be present in the same place but have two completely different experiences and sights. And i also think it's pretty amazing that he sees it this way, i don't know how long it would have taken me to realize something of the sort.
