林以宁，著有墨庄诗文集及凤箫楼集，《杭州府志》亦作曲，著有芙蓉峡传奇，《曲录》并传于世。她是进士林纶之女，监察御史钱肇修之室。与其姑顾玉蕊，均工诗文骈体。玉蕊曾集合当地能诗女子，组织蕉园诗社。当时所谓“蕉园五子”。即指以宁及徐灿、柴静仪、朱柔则、钱云仪五人。以宁于归后，继续姑志，重组蕉园七子社。七子为五子中加入张槎云、毛安芳、冯又令、顾启姬，而徐灿、朱柔则不在内。当时七子之名，颇蜚声于西子湖滨。又擅长书画，尤长于墨竹。
林以宁·《渡伊洛合流》
历尽山川险，方知行路难。
寒风鸣大谷，怪石激流湍。
歧路心常怯，穷途泪未乾。
波光应笑我，独自上河干。
Crossing at the Confluence of the Yi and the Lo Rivers
Lin Yining
One by one I have experienced all the hazards of mountains and rivers;
Now at last I understand “the hardships of the road.”
Cold winds wailing through wide gorges,
Grotesque rocks roiled round in rushing rapids.
When I started out my heart was ever fearful,
By journeys end my tears are still not dry.
A sparkle on the waves they must be amused by me!
Managing it by myself, I step up on the river landing.
