Three Forms Approached

“(The one I loved with Saadi's silvery beam)”

Fuller, Margaret. "Three Forms Approached." Boston Public Library Archives & Special Collections; MS Am. 1450; Box: 3, Folder: 139.

Inferred Fuller names only 'Saadi' (the standard 19th-century English spelling of the Persian poet Sa'di) in the phrase 'Saadi's silvery beam.' No specific work is named.

Fuller attributes 'Saadi's silvery beam' to one of the three visionary figures she encounters in this dream-poem — the one she loved.
