Martin Farquhar Tupper
Edmund Clerihew Bentley wrote flippantly: "Martin Tupper / Sang for his supper. / Though the supper wasn't nice, / It was cheap at the price." G.K. Chesterton also mentions him in The Man Who Was Thursday. In the video game, Alice: Madness Returns, Alice retrieves a memory of her mother stating, "Whoever said "There is no book so bad, but something good may be found in it" never read Martain Farquar Tupper's Proverbial Philosophy."
