There is an unconscious propriety in the way in which, in all
European languages, the word person is commonly used to denote a
human being. The real meaning of persona is a mask, such
as actors were accustomed to wear on the ancient stage; and it is quite
true that no one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays
his part. Indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to
a perpetual comedy; and this is why a man who is worth anything finds
society so insipid, while a blockhead is quite at home in it.

The
"Ridges" cemetery, former Ohio State Asylum for the Insane, (operated
1874-1993), Athens, Ohio.This cemetery at the Ridges in Athens was used
until 1913 as a
final resting place for deceased patients of the Athens Lunatic
Asylum whose families failed to claim their bodies. Grave sites were
mostly numbered, though a few bear names.The "Ridges" cemetery
gravestones were laid out in straight lines, with
the exception of the northeast corner of the cemetery where you will
find a circle of graves. The cemeteries were vulnerable to
vandals for many years. Some believe witches created the circle to hold
seances inside of it, others speculate that it was a prank by
college students: photo by Todd Bender (holysniki), 9 November 2008
