Intellectual Quickness and Literary Mastery in Jami's Haft Awrang, Section 32
Jami portrays the praised figure as understanding meanings before words have fully reached his ears, making extraordinary mental quickness the source of his eloquence. Images of pearls, gardens, constellations, clear water, and beautiful calligraphy elevate his verse, prose, wit, handwriting, and command of Greek wisdom. The passage thus presents literary excellence as the outward expression of a refined intellect rather than merely technical skill.
