                  My Heart Leaps Up when I Behold
Summary:
         The poem, My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold was composed by Romantic poet and devotee of nature, William Words worth. In this poem, the poet exemplifies, his philosophy of poetic creation.
        The speaker fills overjoyed at the sight of a rainbow in the sky. He used to have the same happiness in his childhood. The joy of looking at a rainbow in the sky has continued upto his present stage manhood and he wishes for its continuation upto his old age. If this natural continuation of happiness is interrupted, he would rather die. In the seventh line of the poem, the poet uses a paradox, " The Child is Father of the man". In this paradox, the poet shows interrelationship among past present and future. Finally, he wishes to spend his days paying deep and sincere respect to nature as he does to God.
     As a romantic poet, words worth has used very language and diction. Like most of the romantic poets, he has glorified the nature because it is equivalent to God for him. Besides, he has also applied his philosophy of poetic creation in this poem.

Questions
   1.   Write in one sentence what the poem is about.
    The poem is all about interrelationship among past, present and future i.e if present is the outcome of the past, so naturally, future will be the outcome of the present.

    2.      Explain the paradox in " The Child is Father of the Man".
   Paradox is a statement that sounds rather absurd at the first glance but subsequently turns out to be meaningful. The given paradox sounds quiet contradictory at the first reading because no child can become father of the man. But careful analysis of the statement means that every child of the present is a potential father of future and every father of the present was ones a child. If an infant is fed with nourishing both, he grows into a healthy child. If the child is imparted with technical skill and sound knowledge, he grows into a responsible father. This statement ultimately means to say that if the present is the outcome of the past so naturally, the future will be the outcome of present.
