The preceding lines are “Must it all be either less or more, either plain or grand? Is it always ‘or’? Is it never ‘and’?” followed by “That’s what woulds are for: For those moments in the woods.”

Since “would” can be used to express a possibility or wish (a highly unlikely or impossible one), I take the line to mean that it’s only in the woods where an “and” is possible and only for a fleeting moment.
