I read this just now in an article by Stravinsky about his creative process. He quotes G.K. Chesterton:
In everything that yields gracefully, there must be resistance. Bows are beautiful when they bend only because they seek to remain rigid. Rigidity that slightly yields, like Justice swayed by Pity, is all the beauty of the earth. Everything seeks to grow straight, and happily, nothing succeeds in so growing. Try to grow straight and life will bend you.
I am interested to know what people think about this and how it would apply to D/s. :)
