Life indeed has an absolute authority over many known objects, providing the essential foundation to the growth of others'. But there should not be a single dominant power; things are all correlated. Even from the scientific perspective, abiotic and biotic elements together form the ecosystem; whereby we can readily foretell the existence of the one from the appearance of the other. Matthew Arnold is also aware of this idea by starting his poem "Dover Beach" with the lines "the sea is calm tonight, the tide is full, the moon lies fair" (1-2) Arnold believes that any conflict and changes are built upon the validity of life and nature; thus, it explains why many poets would like to touch on the concept of natural power and later discuss how a transformation is derived from that. .
This understanding-power builds up the relationship-is also shown in the human society. Not until the existence of Adam and Eve had man and woman been differentiated. Since then, the most distinct classification has been established between men and women, each representing a prominent power on one end. Poets are particularly attractive to the regulation of a society in the context of gender. Their connection is witnessed in the form of temptation or in the behavior of love, such as "a bottle of Nuit d'Amour" mentioned by Anthony Evan Hecht (29), or the famous "Siren Song" interpreted again by Margaret Atwood. However, when it comes to discussion of gender, there has always been a stereotypical definition of power distribution. As Atwood defines the Siren Song as "the one song everyone would like to learn" at first (1-2), he implies that it has been a long-standing belief that women would "cry for help" (22). The depiction of inferior women can be traced back to the Greek mythology of the girl Leda as W.B. Yeats describes the "staggering girl" (2).
