《宋史·列传·卷二百一十六》
有人说 ：为什么不录下以示后世？ 林逋说： 我正隐居山林沟壑，尚且不想以诗闻名一时，何况后世呢！ 但是好事的人往往私下记录诗句，现在所流传的还有三百多篇。
或谓： 何不录以示后世？ 逋曰： 吾方晦迹林壑，且不欲以诗名一时，况后世乎！ 然好事者往往窃记之，今所传尚三百余篇。
Someone said: Why not record it to show future generations? Lin Bu said: I'm living in seclusion in the mountains and gullies, and I don't want to be famous for my poems for a while, let alone for future generations! But good people often write down poems in private, and there are still more than 300 of them.
