The Story of an Hour
By: Kate Chopin
2. To me, it sounds like the trees are being described as full or green. My guess would be that aquiver means something along the lines of "covered". If I replace the word "aquiver" with my guess the sentence would read. "...the tops of that were all covered with the new spring life".
3. Aquiver: marked by trembling or quivering <all aquiver with excitement>
4. Now I understand that aquiver is similar to the word quiver. The sentence is showing imagery by telling that the trees were trembling with spring life; meaning that the trees were in a sense shaking back and forth.
