"During his travels, he would often send back interesting pieces of architectural elements to Olgavanna. One of these was a faucet, shaped like a dragon. When Olgavanna opened the package, she declared that a dragon would hate to be surrounded by water. She had a stone and cement column on one of the walkways of Taliesin West drilled to accommodate a gas pipe, and the dragon still breathes fire onto the column every evening. The dragon is now entirely blackened, but whether it shapes a proud sihouette in the day or breathes fire at night, the fiery dragon embodies the bright spirit and determined vision of Frank Lloyd Wright."
