功夫到方圓，言語通眷屬。

與張仲傑郎中論文

文章出苦心，誰以苦心為？

正有苦心人，舉世幾人知？

工文與工詩，大似國手碁。
國手雖漫應，一著存一機。
不從著著看，何異管中窺？

文須字字作，亦要字字讀。
咀嚼有余味，百過良未足。
功夫到方圓，言語通眷屬。
只許曠與夔，聞弦知雅曲。
今人誦文字，十行誇一目。
閼顫失香臭，瞀視紛紅綠。
豪厘不相照，覿面楚與蜀。
莫訝荊山前，時聞刖人哭。

p. 159 vs p.448
A text has to be written character by character;
It should be read character by character.
Mulling over places where there is an aftertaste,
A hundred reading will not suffice.
If, by effort, one achieve full comprehension,
Its language will become like next-of-kin.
