De Profundis (Latin: "from the depths") is a 50,000 word letter
written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to
Lord Alfred Douglas, his lover. Wilde wrote the letter between
January and March 1897; he was not allowed to send it, but took it
with him upon release. In it he repudiates Lord Alfred for what
Wilde finally sees as his arrogance and vanity; he had not
forgotten Douglas's remark, when he was ill, "When you are not on
your pedestal you are not interesting." He also felt redemption and
fulfillment in his ordeal, realizing that his hardship had filled
the soul with the fruit of experience, however bitter it tasted at
the time.
