Suspiria de Profundis

by Thomas De Quincey

The Suspiria is a collection of prose poems, or what De Quincey called “impassioned prose,” eratically written and published starting in 1854. Each Suspiria is a short essay written in reflection of the opium dreams De Quincey would experience over the course of his lifetime addiction, and they are considered by some critics to be some of the finest examples of prose poetry in all of English literature.
