mask, n.All

The Mask is loved by the profound: the profoundest things have a hatred even of figure and likeness.

The Mask is a thing one's face grows to fit.

The Mask is a thing tht allows a man to tell the truth, for man is least himself when he talks in his own person.

The Mask is a thing we are never without. During a carnival men simply put masks over their masks.

The Mask is required of every profound spirit. Or rather, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing.

The Mask is ubiquitous. Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

A Mask tells us more than the face.

The Mask is dropped in the closing years of life, much like at the end of a masquerade party.
