I Am Calm like a Mirror

Red-character square seal

我靜如鏡 釋篆玉

中國

「我靜如鏡」語出晉人陸機《隴西行》:「我靜如鏡,民動如煙。事以形兆,應以象懸。豈曰無才,世鮮興賢。」作者與大恆和尚結交於西湖,共結吟社,間涉摹印。
 這是一方四字朱文印,約五公分見方的大印,以庶民用印而言,是極為罕見的巨印,為著名金石僧釋篆玉所刻成。印面布局平穩,四字與邊欄極為緊密,將空間運用到極致。所用字型方正,除了「靜」字內的「爪」有圓筆之外,其餘均為方方正正的結體。在刀法方面,則屬於爽利一路,用刀利落,不拖泥帶水,如禪者氣魄,體現生命最痛快淋漓的一面。
 篆玉字讓山,號嶺雲。清代(1644~1911)僧人。浙江仁和(今杭州)人。十七歲出家於杭州淨慈寺,參究禪法,博通內外,詩書畫印均精妙超群。存世有《讓山語錄》、《話墮集》。
