Ricardo Garibay described him:


{{Blockquote|text=Erasmo Castellanos was one hundred or one hundred and fifty years old when we arrived at the high school in 1940. He was an Old Testament inhabitant. Long gray hair grew from his sideburns and the nape of his neck; his beard and mustache were threadbare and almost white. [...] He was small and slightly hunchbacked. He wore a bowler hat, white sneakers, and a black, double-breasted suit with wide, long lapels, or another light gray one. He owned nothing else. He carried his books and notebooks in a natural fiber sack. A wealthy disciple, Campanella, gave him a leather briefcase with a gold clasp. The master put his bag in the briefcase. The most notable thing about his attire was the shoulder pads on his jacket. Giant. Just as they would befit a man two meters tall. Greeks are the male beauty prototype, yes or no? Yes, of course. What is the most striking aspect of Greek male beauty? The shoulders, yes or no? […] Man is shoulders […] he is all shoulders. Along this path, the tailor had to fill the Master's suit jacket shoulders with arrobas of lint.<ref>Garibay. Ricardo, Fiera infancia y otros años.
