Did Shakespeare say the child is the father of man?

No.It is a derivation from a like titled poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins, "The Child is Father to the Man," published 1 January 1923:The Child is father to the manThe Child is father to the man. How can he be? The words are wild.Suck any sense from that who can:'The child is father to the man.'No; what the poet did write ran,'The man is father to the child.''The child is father to the man!'How can he be? The words are wild.It is a misquoting of a line from the William Wordsworth poem, "My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold," written 26 March 1802:My Heart Leaps Up When I BeholdMy heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky;So was it when my life began;So is it now I am a man;So be it when I shall grow old,Or let me die!The Child is father of the Man ;And I could wish my days to beBound each to each by natural piety.


Who wrote the inquisitive mind of a child?

This poem, in its original and correct form, was written by John F. Willcocks (1918-2007). Maybe he was thinking of his father, when he composed it, as he was only 9 months old, when his father died as a result of being gassed on the Somme. The following is the poem as it was written:POPPIESWhy are they selling poppies, mother? Selling poppies in town today?The poppy, my child, is the flower of love for the men who marched away.Why did they chose a poppy, mother? Why not a beautiful rose?Because, my child, men fought and died in the fields where the poppy grows.But why is the poppy so red?Red is the colour of blood, my child, the blood that our soldiers shed.The heart of the poppy is black, mother. Why does it have to be black?Black is the symbol of grief my child for the men, who never came back.But why mother dear, are you crying so? Your tears are like winter rain.My tears are my fears for you, my child, for the world is forgetting again.
