Ten of the best Latin titles in literature

At the Guardian, John Mullan named ten of the best Latin titles in literature.

One entry on the list:

"De Profundis", by Oscar Wilde

While imprisoned in Reading Gaol, Wilde wrote this epistle to Lord Alfred Douglas "from the depths" (of disgrace and despair). Recrimination and self-criticism turn to spiritual rebirth by the end, for in those depths he has discovered religious consolation. The title comes from the Penitential Psalm 130.
