My name is Benjamin Jowett |
OR!
by Henry Beeching 1859-1919 |
First come I: my name is Jowett. There's no knowledge but I know it I am master of this college What I don't know isn't knowledge
|
OR EVEN! Jowett's mausoleum epitaph � MG Adelberg 2005 all rights reserved |
My name, it is
Jowett,
As the gods did
bestow it.
Though I lie here
below it,
This lawn, none
will mow it.
Life's river, I
rowed it
Plato's line, I
towed it,
Truth's seed, I
did sow it,
If it is
knowledge, I know it.

Yes, Benjamin Jowett (1817 - 1893) was a famous English theologian and Greek scholar whose translations of Plato (c.427 - 347bc) are still read today. After being Regius Professor, he became Master of Balliol College, Oxford, from 1870 to 1893. He also translated Thucydides and Aristotle; he took 30 years over the translation Plato's Republic. No wonder it is still the standard English-language text.
It is unlikely that he built or drove motor cars.
There is of course the Jowett Library at Balliol with the extensive collection of BJ's papers. |

...and Jupiter is also a planet, with its wikipedia website - but no motor cars so far as is known. No doubt NASA has plans for driving around on one or more of Jupiter's satellites, though. |
