P7.28-31   Trusswork is pierced by daylight, milky panes beam
beneficently down. How could there be a winter—even this one—gray
enough to age this iron that can sing in the wind, or cloud these
windows that open into another season, however falsely preserved?

What are these "milky panes"?   And what is the meaning of the word "beam" here?
