Other inscription

Yanxi Guangwen 偃溪廣聞 (1189–1263), 8 columns in semi-cursive script, undated; 2 seals:

All moments of enlightenment come in a flash;
Why distrust your eye and value your ear?
Just as between the water and the clouds,
Don’t say there is nothing there.[1]
???? [Seals]: Guangwen yinzhang, Yanxi

全機劈面來,賤目而貴耳。
便是水雲間,莫道無餘事。
住冷泉囗囗 [印]: 廣聞印章、偃溪
