The Voyeur

A person is never himself but always a mask; a person never owns his own persona, but always represents another, by whom he is possessed. Norman O. Brown from Love's Body

The voyeur, the peeper , the Peeping tom, is a dark
comedian. He is repulsive in his dark anonymity,
in his secret invasion. He is pitifully alone.
But, strangely, he is able through this same silence
and concealment to make unknowing partner of
anyone
within his eye's range. This is his threat and power.

Jim Morrison from The Lords and New Creatures
