WRITE SHORT COMPOSITION ON "CHILD IS THE FATHER OF A MAN"
Answers
Answer:
A Paradox is a statement which seems to be absurd on contradiction based on true or false fact. Similarly, the poem " My heart leaps up when i behold " written by the nature lover William Wordsworth exclaims that the role of man is instrumental behind the birth of child. A child can never produce a man and hence the sentence " THE CHILD IS FATHER OF THE MAN" is paradoxical
But analyzing the the above sentence deeply we come to know that a man can never transform into child but the seed like quality of the child is being transformed into the autonomous tree where a kind of a child manifests itself cruelty in his manhood.
We know that " Past is experience , present is experiment , tommorow is expectation" So we should gather our experiences in our experiments for achieving our expectations. So , it can also be considered that the present is the outcome of past and future is the result of present.So there is a bond between the three phases of human life i.e present , past and future which is also explained in the above given paradox.The positive and life nurturing impressions that get deeply etched in our minds when we are small children remain with us forever. The child makes a indefinite relation with the nature and hence becomes the father of its manhood with the perception that it senses the beauty of nature , panorama imagination of nature which overwhelms the capacity of his own adulthood.
Thus in this way a controversial statement : THE CHILD IS FATHER OF THE MAN " proves to be a logical statement if we analyze it carefully making a deep into the feelings of William Wordsworth
Answer:
CHILD IS THE FATHER OF A MAN
This famous line was first used by William Wordsworth in his poem ‘My heart leaps up’. By it he means all traits, propensities, characteristics, thinking patterns, etc. in a man are formed when he is a small child. He carries them into his adulthood.
It may also mean that child has certain powers such as intuition, wisdom, the innocence, and divinity inherited from God. These divine traits fade out as he grows old under the influence of materialistic world.
