Passages where the evidence goes beyond allusion to indicate that Fuller had this work in hand — an explicit statement of reading, sustained excerpting or translation, or a specific reading episode recorded by those who knew her.
“Saadi I have read many times.”
Letters of Margaret Fuller ed. Hudspeth · Sunday 16th Oct [1842]
Explicit 'Saadi I have read many times'.
“He has been reading me his new poems Saadi & the other, at the end he asked me how I liked the "little subjective twinkle all through." … In the resolves of Saadi I acquiesce, "Gentle Saadi, mind thy rhyme.”
