Early on in the poem, the audience is treated to the description of a harsh forest land which initially sounds inhospitable. But the wording of the literature makes it known that a secret of the steppes of the Taiga are capable of life after all.
I like the usage of the trees being poetically manifested as guardians of the woods. Especially 'He drinks the radiance of ghostly rays' that was awesome!
Interesting about your line 'The epochs that were born in this forest.' Of course you could even argue that the forest is eternal in nature, it will outlive all of us. Just like the old saying goes, nothing lasts forever except the earth and sky...
We get a brief reference to the narrator's personal inclusion in the story with the word "I", but the story continues without further elaborating on the identity of the narrator unless I missed something?
The final part of the poem seems to reference the futility of man's involvement with nature. Although he is a part of that nature and has arisen from it, he is not the ultimate destiny changing force that he likes to think he is. Man is every bit at the mercy of nature as he is at the mercy of his own mistakes for mistreating the environment in which he lives.
They story seems to conclude that whatever happens with man's involvement, the forest will still be there, pressing on into the future, as life must always 'go on', an allusion to the river of time mentioned by the epilouge.
