Mr. Wright and I were at Taliesin looking over his mail one morning when he exclaimed, “See what I have! The Wendingen from Holland —the publication of my work. ”We bent over the large, beautifully proportioned book, with its light cloth covers. He opened it slowly and there, after the first page, was the poetic portrait of him which has since been sealed in my memory of the first year of our life together.
“Look at this,” he said, pointing to the inscription. It read: “Some Flowers to Frank Lloyd Wright.” “And now,” he added swiftly, “the bouquet is yours also.” The preface was written by the Dutch architect T. Th. Wijdeveld; “This is a fine piece of work,” Mr. Wright said. “It is very well done indeed. Wijdeveld understands my architecture. I believe that Holland will go far along the line of architecture; it is there that the architects seem to have taken root in my work.
Of course it will as usual never be on a large scale. And God forbid that—because then I should feel that I had become commonplace! But, spoofing aside, the enlightened minority does seem at this time to be strongest in Holland.” He had a warm feeling toward his friends there and his work was having an enormous influence in that country. I remember a letter he received from a friend there, saying: “All I see here is shades of you.”
