“Ellery's poem, "The Earth" gave me singular pleasure.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. III. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1986.

Fuller names both author ("Ellery") and title ("The Earth") explicitly, reporting that the poem "gave me singular pleasure." Hudspeth identified the work as Ellery Channing's "The Earth," published in the July 1843 Dial; William Ellery Channing the younger (1818–1901) was a poet and nephew of the great Unitarian minister William Ellery Channing.
