Calvin Sanderlen, 1868
Known mainly for being a daring and dapper dresser, Calvin lived a life of luxury and indulgence, traipsing around London with his perfectly groomed greyhound or spending quality time in one of the many upscale pubs downtown. Calvin never worked a day in his life, but spent many hours each week working on a volume of poetry he claimed would change the world. The book was unfinished when a light carriage ran him over in the street, claiming his young life, and the manuscript was later lost when his parents moved from the city to their country estate, so the world will never know what effect the poems may have had.
