“I can be perfectly happy by myself. With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?”
in addition to being so well written, this letter is (unsettlingly?) relatable

Wow, what a read. The letters were fine and I enjoyed The Ballad of Reading Gaol, but the true star was De Profundis. It's a beautiful letter to savor.
