In 1903, while Wright was designing a house for [[Edwin Cheney]] (a neighbor in Oak Park), he became enamored with Cheney's wife, [[Mamah Borthwick|Mamah Borthwick Cheney]]. Mamah was a modern woman with interests outside the home. She was an early feminist, and Wright viewed her as his intellectual equal. Their relationship became the talk of the town; they often could be seen taking rides in Wright's automobile through Oak Park.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}} In 1909, Wright and Mamah Cheney met up in Europe, leaving their spouses and children behind. Wright remained in Europe for almost a year, first in [[Florence]], Italy (where he lived with his eldest son Lloyd) and, later, in [[Fiesole, Italy]], where he lived with Mamah. During this time, Edwin Cheney granted Mamah a divorce, although Frank's wife Catherine refused to grant him one.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 11, 2023 |title=The Massacre at Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Love Cottage' |url=https://www.history.com/news/the-massacre-at-frank-lloyd-wrights-love-cottage |access-date=December 5, 2024 |website=HISTORY |language=en}}</ref> After Wright returned to the United States in October 1910, he persuaded his mother to buy land for him in [[Spring Green, Wisconsin]]. The land, bought on April 10, 1911, was adjacent to land held by his mother's family, the Lloyd-Joneses. Wright began to build himself a new home, which he called {{lang|cy|[[Taliesin (studio)|Taliesin]]}}, by May 1911. The recurring theme of {{lang|cy|Taliesin}} also came from his mother's side: [[Taliesin]] was a Welsh poet, magician, and priest. The family motto, "''{{lang|cy|Y Gwir yn Erbyn y Byd}}''" ("The Truth Against the World"), was taken from the Welsh poet {{lang|cy|[[Iolo Morganwg]]}}, who also had a son named Taliesin. The motto is still used today as the cry of the druids and chief bard of the {{lang|cy|[[Eisteddfod]]}} in Wales.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.unitychapel.org/home_country.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051228212826/http://www.unitychapel.org/home_country.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 28, 2005 |title=Home Country |publisher=Unitychapel.org |date=July 1, 2005 |access-date=October 16, 2009}}</ref>
