Masks are arrested expressions and admirable echoes of feeling, at once faithful, discrete, and superlative. Living things in contact with the air must acquire a cuticle, and it is not urged against cuticles that they are not hearts
George Santayana

[...] more and more enamored of the selves their clients impute to them.

Goffman, Erving - The presentation of self in everyday life

Where have you been? Been searchin' all along
Came facin' twilight on and on without a clue
Without a sign, without grasping yet
The real question to be asked
- Where have I been?

 I'm a shapeshifter at Poe's masquerade
Hidin' both face and mind, all free for you to draw
I'm a shapeshifter, what else should I be?
Please don't take off my mask, revealin' dark
