		<description>I have always seen Tom as the white dot in the Yin-Yang symble. Even in darkness there is always a touch of light. He has seen almost total darness and light in his life. He is not effected by the ring or evil as he plays no part in that part of life. He has always been and imagines he always will be. He is the root of the truth and the light.</description>

		<description>Hi, is it really important to know who Tom Bombadil is? I mean, when I read the Lord of the Rings, I did not find it odd to find him there and after all, when Frodo  asked &#039;&#039;who is tom Bombadil&#039;&#039;, Goldberry did answer &#039;&#039;he is&#039;&#039; and after that she said -&#039;&#039; he is the master&#039;&#039;. So if he is there, it is because he should be there. He is also called &#039;&#039;the ancient&#039;&#039; if I remember well but it does not disturb the story at all, even if we do not know where he comes from. 
P.s. I have enjoyed reading the article above. thanks.</description>

		<description>Yeah I saw him as some kind of a Nature spirit... Tolkien&#039;s moral ideal doesn&#039;t seem too strong.</description>
