Nicholson (1866-1931), a member of the Uranian school of poets and of the Order of Chaeronea, was an English schoolteacher who wrote in his poetry of his passionate attachments to several students. He was a student of Frederick Rolfe, known as "Baron Corvo", at King Edward VI Grammar School, and the two continued a tempestuous friendship until their falling out in 1887.
