No wonder Wright was enchanted -- no two better suited people ever met.

but the years that immediately followed were to be extraordinarily trying, both for Wright and his Montenegrin lady.

Even so, many of the things that happened to Wright and Olgivanna seem inordinately severe.

Reporters began to trail Miriam everywhere, and to encourage her to make appalling statements about Wright and his doings.

The distracted Miriam would agree to a settlement through her legal representative, then change her mind and make another attack on Wright as a person.

Cloud made an interesting statement in parting from his client: `` I wanted to be a lawyer, and Mrs. Wright wanted me to be an avenging angel.

Mrs. Wright is without funds.

But every time I suggested this to her, Mrs. Wright turned it down and demanded that I go out and punish Mr. Wright.

and during the unhappy time, Miriam often would charge that Wright and Olgivanna were misdemeanants against the public order of Wisconsin.

Yet somehow, when officers were prodded into visiting Taliesin to execute the warrants, they would find neither Wright nor Olgivanna at home.

To get an idea of the embarrassment and chagrin that was heaped upon Wright and Olgivanna, we should bear in mind that the raids were sometimes led by Miriam in person.

He said that Mr. Wright was not in, and so could not be arrested on something called a peace warrant that Miriam was waving in the air.

You are even uglier than Mr. Wright ''.

Then, after overtures to accept a settlement and go through with a divorce, Miriam gave a ghastly echo of Mrs. Micawber by suddenly stating, `` I will never leave Mr. Wright ''.

Cried Wright, showing that automobiles were considered to be a danger as early as the 1920's.

`` This is a horrible way to live '', Wright went on.

`` Take a gigantic knife and sweep it over the Loop '', Wright said.

Little enough joy was afforded Wright in the spring of 1925, when another destructive fire broke out at Taliesin.

Wright set his loss at $200,000, a figure perhaps justified by the unique character of the house that had been ruined, and the faultless taste that had gone into the selection of the prints and other things that were destroyed.

In spite of the disaster, Wright completed during this period plans for the Lake Tahoe resort, in which he suggested the shapes of American Indian tepees -- a project of great and appropriate charm, that came to nothing.

While this was under consideration, dauntless as ever Wright set about the building of Taliesin 3.

As he made plans for the new Taliesin, Wright also got on paper his conception of a cathedral of steel and glass to house a congregation of all faiths, and the idea for a planetarium with a sloping ramp.
