De Profundis
by Oscar Wilde

While imprisoned in Reading Gaol from 1895 to 1897 for homosexual practices, Wilde wrote an impassioned letter to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. It was edited and published posthumously in 1905 as De Profundis, the first of two words of Psalms 130, part of the Roman Catholic funeral service.
