وهذه القوة المدهشة في ذنـَب الحوت لا تنحو أبدا لعرقلة التـّثني الرشيق في حركاته، حيث اليُسر الرشيق يتموّج من خلال جبروت القوة. بل العكس هو الصحيح: فإن تلك الحركات تستمد جمالها الباهر منها، فالقوة الحق لا تـُشوِّه الجمال أو الانسجام، وإنما تمنحها للشيء القوي، وفي كل شيء جميل آسر الجمال تلعب القوة دورا سحريا.
