I'm just wondering if the image is meant to refer to the 'spirit' within/shining through matter? Spiritual Light shines in/through branches of trees & in/through hair.
The Light seen in/through hair/branches is the spiritual Light, the trees/hair symbolises matter, the physical world.
Or in other words, the Light shines in the Darkness & animates it - gives it life......
From this point of view, Shippey is wrong - its not that the trees/hair are in the way of the light - its the opposite - that the light shining in/through them hallows them...
