Suspiria de Profundis
''Suspiria de profundis'' (a Latin phrase meaning "sighs from the depths") is one of the best-known and most distinctive literary works of the English essayist Thomas De Quincey.〔Judson S. Lyon, ''Thomas De Quincey'', New York, Twayne Publishers, 1969; pp. 96-105.〕
==Genre==
First published in fragmentary form in 1845, the work is a collection of short essays in psychological fantasy — what De Quincey himself called "impassioned prose," and what is now termed prose poetry. The essays of the ''Suspiria'' "are among the finest examples of De Quincey's or anyone else's English style."〔Sidney Low, ''De Quincey'', London, G. Bell and Sons, 1911; p. 96.〕
"Some critics consider De Quincey's ''Suspiria de Profundis'' the supreme prose fantasy of English literature."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thomas De Quincey Critical Essay )〕
De Quincey conceived of the collection as a sequel to his masterwork, ''Confessions of an English Opium-Eater'' (1821). Like that work, the pieces in ''Suspiria de Profundis'' are rooted in the visionary experiences of the author's opium addiction.
