Hans Christian Andersen was close friends with a guy named Edvard Collin and the letters Andersen sent to him suggests he was hoping to become more than friends but Collin wasn’t interested. They stayed close until the end despite this.
Edvard is just the Danish version of Edward and Collin is pronounced like Cullen. I’ve been laughing for days.
