Question

A poem titled for this phrase that claims “grief may be joy misunderstood / only the Good discerns the good” was written after the drowning death of Edward Barrett by his sister, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This phrase titles an essay that asserts “wherever there is a romantic movement in art there somehow, and under some form, is Christ, or the soul of Christ.” It also ends the title of an 1845 book containing such essays as (*) “Savannah-la-Mar” and “Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow.” This phrase, which follows a word meaning “sighs” in the title of a Thomas de Quincey collection, (10[1])was used by Robert Ross to title a lengthy missive addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas. Psalm (10[1])130 (10[1])is the origin (10[1])of, for 10 points, what Latin phrase meaning “from the depths” that titles a letter from prison by Oscar Wilde? ■END■
