Here’s another worthy tidbit regarding A. T. Robertson, this time from his biography by Everett Gill, A. T. Robertson: A Biography (NY: Macmillan, 1943), 201.
Congratulations, Dr. Bob!
There is a professor of Greek,
Unrivaled, unwearied, unique,
Who at three-score and ten
Keeps pushing his pen
And producing a volume a week.One would think that at seventy years
Greek would weary the wisest of seers;
But the older he grows
The more grammar he knows
And more eager for study appears.I couldn’t have gotten that way
Though tempted by fabulous pay;
But this Louisville sage
Scribbles page after page,
Nor for coin, but for love of Koine!—E. McNeill Poteat, Jr.
Published in ATR’s second “jubilee” at age 70 (i.e., his second Festschrift in 1933)
