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.
由Oscar Wilde于1897年撰写并于1905年出版的一封长信。当王尔德在监狱中时，这封信是写给他的情人阿尔弗雷德·道格拉斯勋爵的。拉丁文的标题从深处开始意味深远，其严肃的语气与他早期作品的幽默幽默形成鲜明对比。
