This is a line in Laurence Shames’ “The More Factor.” In this essay, Shames argues that Americans have always valued the idea of having “more”. He states that this was intrinsic to the development of the nation during the years of the Wild West. People wanted more land, more riches, and were prepared to sacrifice everything in order to obtain it. He also argues that this desire for “more” has meant that Americans have forgotten about other values, concentrating on quantity instead of quality.
Shames also argues that the idea of “open space,” of unlimited land that could be grabbed, generated ambition, but it also generated a metaphor. That is, a metaphor of unlimited potential and growth. This metaphor is still associated with the idea of “conquering frontiers.” However, he argues that as hopes of growth are now put on the economy, we have to realize that growth is finite, and that we need to reexamine our values and future goals for the country.

Answer:
I honestly have no clue either but I'mma try and "think outside of the box" here so stay with me XD
Explanation:
I mean during thunderstorms there's lightning right? And trees are like the most susceptible thing to lightning strikes because theyre fairly big and tall right? Maybe the trees appearing bright could signify lightning and with lightning comes thunder? I honestly don't know. Or maybe it's relating to some sort of mythology? Like the "heavens" opening up and shining light on the trees to signify rain because a god or something controls the weather? Or maybeee, this might be the best one yet, rain helps plants grow, trees=plants, illuminating of a plant=growth, GROWTH FROM RAIN. Ok I'm done... I hope at least a little of this made sense and maybe helped lol.
Answer: Our modern society values connection between people through various means such as the social media, the number of people both people has as a mutual friend, the family based friendship which exist among both family etc.
Unfortunately, this differs from how Donne conceived connection to be between two people in a given location.
