It is shown that a wormlike chain, i.e., a filament with a fixed
contour-length S and a bending elasticity kappa, attached to a frame of length
L, can be described--at low resolutions--by the same type of elastic
free-energy as a tense string. The corresponding tension is calculated as a
function of temperature, L, kappa and S.
