De Profundis

Author: Oscar Wilde

De Profundis, Oscar Wilde’s poignant letter from prison, is a raw and introspective journey through the depths of his soul. I was struck by Wilde’s eloquent prose, even in his darkest hour. His reflections on love, art, and suffering are both heart-wrenching and illuminating. As I read, I felt a deep connection to Wilde’s struggle to find meaning in his imprisonment. This work offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a brilliant writer grappling with his own humanity.

Where there is sorrow there is holy ground.
