| | The Hindu : 'A human balance humanly acquired' |
| | People called Ezekiel "the professor"; to me, he was always "the Rabbi", an only half-facetious title that amused him, for the teacher was blended in him with the sceptic who yet seeks wisdom, the wounded healer. | | | Not for Ezekiel the impassioned defence of extreme positions, the melodramatic posturing of the Poet with a capital "p". | | | That was how I first saw Ezekiel when taken to see him, as a boy barely out of school, by my father; the two had been near-contemporaries at Wilson College. |

| | [Reader-list] Nissim Ezekiel passes away |
| | Nissim Ezekiel, India’s most famous Anglo-English poet, who passed away on Friday evening, was laid to rest at Jewish Cemetery, Worli on Sunday. | | | Malti, the ayah who nursed Ezekiel through his six terrible years at Dr Dias’ Bandra clinic, sobbed: ‘‘He was like my father.’’ Strangely, except for two poets (Adil Jussawala and Ranjit Hoskote), the rest of the Mumbai intelligentsia gave Ezekiel’s funeral a miss. | | | And Rao, who wrote Ezekiel’s biography, Nissim Ezekiel: The Authorised Biography, in 2000 can’t believe he has another loss to cope with. |
