《文赋》是晋代陆机的文艺理论作品。该赋序言说明创作缘由和意图，指出“意不称物，文不逮意”的困惑，认为对写作的认识，虽然可以借览前人的经验，但主要靠个人在实践中摸索。

陆机·《文赋·寄兴》

伊兹事之可乐，固圣贤之所钦。课虚无以责有，叩寂寞而求音。函绵邈於尺素，吐滂沛乎寸心。言恢之而弥广，思按之而逾深。播芳蕤之馥馥，发青条之森森。粲风飞而猋竖，郁云起乎翰林。

The Satisfaction

The pleasure a writer knows

is the pleasure of sages.

Out of non-being, being is born;

out of silence,

a writer produces a song.

In one yard of silk, there is infinite space;

language is a deluge

from one small corner of the heart.

The net of images is cast wider

and wider; thought searches

more and more deeply.

The writer offers

the fragrance of fresh flowers,

an abundance of sprouting buds.

Bright winds lift each metaphor;

clouds lift

from a forest of writing brushes.

（Sam Hamill 译）
