...surface of Tethys, a middle-size Saturnian moon, is cut by a strange, sinuous trench, perhaps the result of a sharp blow delivered on the opposite side of its globe, which is dappled with craters and highlands. Dione resembles the earth's moon, marked by all sorts of craters, big and little, features that look like our moon's "seas," and ice flows, rills and highlands. Iapetus, one of the most curious of Saturn's moons-one hemisphere is five or six times as bright as the other -was seen only from a vast distance...

After escorting their women into Pakistan, most men return, climb a few thousand feet higher...
...added ballast of history to Merrill's already established lyric and autobiographical skills; Ephraim's was the spirit of a number of ages, and he proved himself to be a talkative and entertaining tour guide. The imaginary collaboration yielded a poem of rare ambition and scope, a sinuous, sensuous meditation on death and timelessness...
