Question

what is the paradox child is father of man
​

Answer 1

William Wordsworth makes use of a paradox when he says "The Child is father of the Man" in "My Heart Leaps Up."

Answer 2

Paradox means a contradictory sentence.

But if you go deep about it.

If we say that child is a father of a man if you look the other way around it means that the man will never transform into a child but the seed like quality of a child is being transformed into the autonomous tree where a kind of child manifests itself cruelty in his manhood.
