Explain the reference to the context of the following:

(i) The new poets still quoted
The old poets, but no one spoke
In verse
Of the pregnant woman
Drowned, with perhaps twins in her,

(ii) Fed on God for years
All her feasts were monotonous
For the only dish was always God
And the rest mere condiments.

(iii) May the sins of your previous birth
Be burned away tonight, they said
May your suffering decrease
The misfortunes of your next birth, they said

(iv) O Bird of Time, say where do you learn
The changing measures you sing?
In blowing forests and breaking tides
In the happy laughter of new made brides

(i) The first quotation is from a poem that laments the lack of new and contemporary themes in poetry. The reference to a "pregnant woman drowned, with perhaps twins in her" is a reference to a specific example of a poignant and important event or issue that is not being addressed by contemporary poets. The speaker is suggesting that contemporary poets are only quoting the work of old poets and not addressing the reality of the world around them.

The first verse is a reference to a particular aspect of modern literature and the disregard for certain themes and issues in contemporary poetry. The speaker mentions that despite the presence of new poets, they still quote the old poets but no one writes about the more poignant and sensitive issues in their poems. In this case, the speaker mentions a pregnant woman who has drowned, potentially taking two lives with her, yet no one has written about this tragedy in verse.

This line highlights the lack of empathy and sensitivity in modern literature towards certain issues, and the preference for traditional themes and styles over more contemporary and pressing matters. It suggests that contemporary poets are stuck in the past and are not willing to tackle more difficult and challenging issues in _____ ___ ___ __________ _______ ___ _______ _______ ________ ______ _________.
