<p class="just">Son of a butcher, White was a gifted poet. His <em>Clifton Grove, A Sketch In Verse With Other Poems</em>, published when he was 17, reveals his teenage skepticism. After reading Walter Scott’s <em>Force of Truth</em>, he underwent a conversion described metaphorically in his poem “The Star of Bethlehem” (now sung as “When Marshaled on the Nightly Plain”). White enrolled at St. John’s College,
|
|
Cambridge, planning to become a minister, but he fell ill and died before graduation.</p>
