Answer 5

Hmm
Hint for 1st one,
One of the important aspects of "Infant Sorrow" is Blake's use of the past tense, which reflects that he is speaking of the event of his birth. Of this experience, Blake states, "into the dangerous world I leapt. Helpless, naked, piping loud." This quote explains the helpless nature of infancy and how children absolutely rely on their parents for each of their needs. In addition, these words suggest that infancy is not always a joyful and happy experience for parents; rather, it is a challenging and difficult time.
2nd one,
The themes of Yeat's poetry never concerned death. That means "In Memory of W. B. Yeats": "The death of the poet was kept from his poems" even after the era in which a famous poet died.
