Teach us, Dylan, to love as you did,
being dizzy, with falling dreams
and when Love comes
teach us to walk down an ecstatic line of light
to taste on our lips
the breath of indigo and the emerald kiss

From artist Adel Gorgy's report :
...I also spoke of how you, Lidia Chiarelli in Torino Italy, were the spark that ignited the process of collaborations starting with Aeronwy, then Peter and then Stanley, and how the
collaborations published as broadsides with Stanley and CCC are also published by you and Immagine&Poesia. Many of the poets that I have collaborated with were present. Among
them were Stanley, Peter, Kristine Doll, Sultan Catto, Hassanal Abdullah, Robin Metz, and of course the very special and very dear to all, Lidia Chiarelli, and both Stanley and I stated that you
were with us in spirit celebrating this occasion. I also stated that Stanley published your/our first book in the United States.
