I'm completely blown away. Tom Bombadil <I>unimportant</I>! He is vital to the reality that the Lord of the Rings is a legendary myth. He is the enigma, the anomaly that does not belong and cannot be explained. He is the single irrationality in the whole of middle earth. Tolkien's writing would hardly be mythopoetic without good old Tom.<P>Iarwain<p>[ March 07, 2003: Message edited by: Iarwain ]
