“According to writer Michael Feldberg, Ezekial and Encke had “a forty-five year homosexual relationship…that neither acknowledged publicly.”[8] About this relationship, Ezekial was always circumspect in his letters and memoirs, referring to Encke only as his “traveling companion” and “my dear friend.”[10]: 209 [29]
Biographer Peter Adam Nash, in The Life and Times of Moses Jacob Ezekiel, describes Ezekiel as homosexual, but Nash does not produce any direct evidence for this; Nash’s assumption is made from his research of Ezekiel’s papers and of their social and historical context.[30]”
