...nothing very obvious in return. On all the hard questions, the gaps loomed as wide as ever. There seemed no promise of any aid in settling the Viet Nam War. (Not that there had been much expectation for such help; moreover, if it were to occur, it would scarcely be mentioned in the communiqué.)

Even if the monsoon theory is correct, however, many centuries will pass before visitors to Mars will have to shoot Martian rapids or brave unearthly downpours.

Paradoxically, it is when the poet is able to forget the audience that this interaction is most likely to occur, for then he is able to escape time. Yevtushenko in personal poems such as "Let's not..." seemed capable of this transformation...
