"Ice Masquerading As Fire"

Reflected in my most recent essay on 'Masks' is my interest in not only the physical objects, but the term in the metaphorical sense; personas. A perfect example being David Bowie, in his various guises- not merely aesthetic, but also psychological. The Thin White Duke was the most self-destructive of these, gaunt and emotionless, while sinister and intense. The persona was described as "Ice masquerading as fire".
