Is Child Really The Father Of Man?

On one occasion the father found his son painting over his unfinished sketch of a pigeon. Observing the precision of his son's technique, Ruiz felt that the 13 year old Picasso had surpassed him, and vowed to give up painting. - This is about Pablo Picasso. When I first read this the famous quote by William Wordsworth came to mind - "Child is the father of man." Its amazing how much you can find just by going through the internet and I must confess little interesting things like this is enough to make me smile.
