In Frank's vision, he sees the ghostly shape of people riding horses through the trees, of women gathering herbs and berries. Frank raises his hand to the idea of his mother and father and a line of people he’s never known. He then rides back to the farmhouse, where the old man is waiting. This is significant because it reiterates the thematic importance of land within the novel, as the land connects Frank to generational knowledge and to his family.
