It is perhaps not anyone's most composed time. (and it was an interesting response!)
There's a viewpoint that you're a master when people come to your students and say "teach us!". In that respect, Le Guin was well into whatever grand-mastery is involved in being able to witness people saying so to the students of your student's students, and kept right on speaking as though it was important that everyone understand.
I'm going to call that a rare accomplishment, and I think you made an excellent go of expressing your experience of it.
