De Profundis
/ˌdeɪ prəˈfʊndiːs/
/ˌdeɪ prəʊˈfʊndɪs/
- a long letter written by Oscar Wilde in 1897 and published in 1905. It was written to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, when Wilde was in prison. The Latin title means from the depths, and the serious tone of the letter makes a strong contrast with the clever humour of his earlier works.
