Ezekiel : The Book of Ezekiel, one of the major prophetical books of the Old Testament. The priest Ezekiel received his prophetic call in the fifth year of the first deportation to Babylonia (592 BC) & was active until at least 571 BC.

It is surprising how little understanding he brings to his job. There ...
... superiority is radically evident in Aurobindo's claim, for example, to have written the perfect poetry, the future poetry. The literary critic, Mr. Nissim Ezekiel, has mercifully laid that claim to rest. What could any critic do when confronted with passages such as these?: 'In poetry anything can pass... tries to distort Sri Aurobindo or else he is a dunce of the first water. Here he seems to be the latter. As for his ideal critic, Mr. Nissim Ezekiel, I would refer Mr. Alvares — if I could believe that he was capable of a lucid spell freeing him for a moment from his peculiar schizophrenia of duncehood ...
... wings shalt thou trust" 20 - "And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea he did fly upon the wings of the wind". 21 The last passage joins up with those 22 in which the heavens are opened and Ezekiel sees visions of God. Out of the midst of a bright fire came four living creatures who had the likeness of a man and who moved with wheels within wheels. "And every one had four faces, and every one...
