De Profundis
"De Profundis" means "from the depths." It's the name traditionally given to Psalm 130, in which the psalmist cries unto God in the deepest misery:
"Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
To my voice in supplication!"
The title is given also to countless musical and literary works. The most famous of these, perhaps, is the "De Profundis" essay written by Oscar Wilde as he sat in a dismal Victorian prison, reviewing the libertine life that had sent him there. Tennyson, C. S. Lewis and Dorothy Parker also wrote works with this title.
In the case of this picture, the weary little fellow lacks even the strength to cry for mercy. But he holds aloft the tiny light he still possesses; and evil cannot take him.
He'll be fine. Trust me.
