Shots in the Dark

Zeph Stewart, whose passing was noted by others earlier on this blog, is remembered in today’s Boston Globe.

“Zeph cared about every part of Harvard, and every part of classics in particular,” said Richard Thomas, a professor of Greek and Latin at the university. “He was brilliant in a very quiet way. He knew a great deal, but he wasn’t ostentatious about his knowledge, and he had an aesthetic sensibility that it was wonderful to be touched by.”

Thomas and others remember him eloquently, and he sounds like a man who deserved that eloquence.
