The first sentence refers to the personification of the air. When Winston goes to meet the brown-haired girl, he feels a sense of freedom about him. He can actually breathe when walking outside. He is very nervous about going to meet the girl, for it is illegal to have relationships or even marriage. However, the air is different out in the country where he is meeting her. It is free and fresh, everything that the air in the city isn't. The second sentence speaks of the droning of the ring doves. I am going to take a stab and say this implies that the ring doves are in the middle of the wood of the tree. Regardless, the langauge is beautiful and brings an element of freshness to the story as a whole. The language comes off as if Winston has a second chance at life.
