10: De Profundis: Oscar Wilde's Letter from Prison (part 1)

De Profundis is Latin for "from the depths." It's also the title of a letter. <br/><br/>Oscar Wilde, the infamous Irish playwright and poet, wrote this letter over the course of the two years he spent in prison for "public indecency". <br/><br/>He wrote it to Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas, who was a "friend" of Oscar's (wink wink). <br/><br/>We cover the first portion of the letter today, which is what I refer to as, "The Drama." This is where we lay down all of the background information and read through some of the outrageous stories that Oscar found himself in as a part of his "fatal friendship" with Bosie. <br/><br/>For part two, we will dive deeper into the letter and analyze Oscar's philosophical and spiritual musings. And remember: "The supreme vice is shallowness. Whatever is realized is right."<br/><br/>Website<br/>Instagram
