鍾壽仁 (1927-1999) 行書十九言聯

款識：
傷心夜雨蕉窓，點半盞寒燈，替諸生改之乎者也；
回首秋風桂苑，賸一枝禿筆，為舉家謀柴米油鹽。
七十六年丁卯重陽前五日。東陽鍾壽仁。

鈐印：「鍾」、「壽仁」、「環碧軒」。

註：鍾壽仁，浙江東陽人，早歲因家境關係棄讀務農。一九四六年考入國民政府警衛總隊，任蔣中正侍衛。四九年隨政府遷台，後調總統府書記官，復先後追隨陳芷町、高逸鴻習畫，與葉公超亦為筆硯交。六八年調外交部任職，直至七七年退休。他以畫竹聞名，書法則追二王、南宮，先後於日、菲、泰、韓及台灣多個城市舉行展覽。

本聯內容有謂出自清代教書先生李璧瑜所撰，喻授業維生，生活簡淡清苦，鍾氏書時，已退隱林泉，寄情書畫，寫來流暢自適，無酸腐味，另具一番情趣。
