11/08/98Lyotard defines "pagan" as judging without criteria. Of course, the criteria may be discovered later, but the pagan is one who has no explicit set rules that guide the formulation of judgment. Lyotard says:
[Paganism] is a name, neither better nor worse than others, for the denomination of a situation in which one judges without criteria. Lyotard

The tomb, designed by Jules Dalou is notable for the realistic portrayal of the dead Noir, and for the fact that he appears to be at least partially sexually aroused, his large penis pushing his part-unbuttoned fly open. In consequence, the sculpture has become a fertility symbol. His lips are kissed, the genital area is rubbed and flowers are left in his hat. In 2005 a fence was erected around his tomb to prevent people rubbing the said area, as this was damaging the sculpture, but it has subsequently been removed.Cyprian Norwid - Polish poet[edit] OPascale Ogier - French actressVirginia Oldoini, Countess of Castiglione - famous Italian courtesanMax Ophuls - German film directorAndranik Toros Ozanian - Armenian military commander and statesman[edit] PThe grave of Édith Piaf Antoine Parmentier - French agronomist known for enunciating the dietary value of potatoesAlexandre Ferdinand Parseval-Deschenes - French admiralFrançois-Auguste Parseval-Grandmaison - French poet, uncle of the aboveChristine Pascal - French actressAdelina Patti - Spanish-born opera singerRobert Herbert, 12th Earl of Pembroke - English aristocratCasimir Perier - French statesmanMichel Petrucciani - French Jazz pianistÉdith Piaf - French singerChristian Pineau - French statesmanRoland Piquepaille - French technology writerCamille Pissarro - French Impressionist painterIgnace Pleyel - pianistElvira Popescu - Romanian-born actressFrancis Poulenc - French composerAntoine-Augustin Préault - French sculptorMarcel Proust - French novelist, essayist and criticPierre-Paul Prud'hon - French painter[edit] RGrave of Georges Rodenbach Mademoiselle Rachel - French actressFrançois-Vincent Raspail - French scientist and statesman; remains later moved to the PanthéonHenri de Regnier - French poetNorbert Rillieux - American engineer, invented the multiple-effect evaporatorÉtienne-Gaspard Robert - Belgian magician who performed under the stage name of RobertsonJacob Roblès - Famous grave for the medallion Silence by Auguste PréaultGeorges Rodenbach - Belgian poetJules Romains - French writerGioachino Rossini - Italian composer.
