The Child is Father of the Man


                                                                              Gustavo Fring

My 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 be

Bound each to each by natural piety. 

                            - William Wordsworth (1770-1850, England)


The Child is Father of the Man. Simple things of childhood have the power to guide our whole life.

I remember the joy which I felt, as a child, to see a rainbow. 

I still feel the same happiness whenever I see it. The day I stop feeling that same joy, I would like to die.

I wish that innocence, love and ability to enjoy nature become my religion.
