Most of what was paradoxical in the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright came from the same tension in relation to the nature that inspired his work to begin with. For it was not an easy project to emulate the high level of aesthetic organization in nature or to seek through geometric abstraction a reconstitution, or analogue, of the landscape.

Whose husband died
Of cancer.
She keeps one room clear
Of tenants,
And in that room she draws delicate
Studies of toads
That lick flies from the air
For food.
