Some say he’s Eru himself or one of the Valar, others that he’s Sauron or some other powerful and foul creature. Then of course, he could just be Tom Bombadil. <br/>He really is a mysterious character though. He seems to be on Middle-earth since its creation (<a href="http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/23174275864/tell-me-who-are-you-alone-yourself-and-nameless" target="_blank">x</a>) and the Ring has no powers over him. </p> <p>But maybe that wasn’t even your question. ^^</p> <p>To put it simply, Tom Bombadil is an elderly, vivid, cheerful man who lives in the Old Forest with his mysterious elvish-seeming ‘River Daughter’ wife Goldberry. He’s the master of the forest and the Barrow-downs and doesn’t want to have anything to do with what lies outside of this area. </p> <p>He appears in the chapters ‘The Old Forest’, ‘In the House of Tom Bombadil’ and ‘Fog on the Barrow-downs’ in The Fellowship of the Ring and helps Frodo and the other three hobbits on the beginning of their journey.</p> <p>You can find the quotes from/about him so far <a href="http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/tagged/tom-bombadil" target="_blank">here</a> and read more about him <a href="http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Tom_Bombadil" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/38644477848http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/38644477848Sun, 23 Dec 2012 20:13:58 +0100anonymousmessagequestion<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/072efa23bb1c867100dd2ef0988a6b16/tumblr_mfhywdCXS61r9sebro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>- Saruman to Gandalf, The Two Towers, Book III, The Voice of Saruman </strong><br/>(‘Saruman talking about the crowns of seven kings, and the rods of the Five Wizards’, requested by anonymous)</p> </blockquote>http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/38642753255http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/38642753255Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:50:57 +0100SarumanLord of the RingsLotRThe Two TowersBook IIIC The Voice of SarumanSaruman quotescrowns of seven kingsrods of the Five WizardsLord of the Rings quotesLotR Book quotesTolkien Book quotes<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5d2e4d43cecef92f7cca3e89112a62c0/tumblr_meqgfe64Dp1r9sebro1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <div> <div> <p><strong>- The Fellowship of the Ring, Book I, Fog on the Barrow-downs</strong></p> </div> </div> </blockquote>http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/37505768068http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/37505768068Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:26:00 +0100Lord of the RingsLotRFotRThe Fellowship of the RingHobbitsBook IC Fog on the Barrow DownsHobbit quotesLord of the Rings quotesLotR Book quotesTolkien Book quotes<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me1y5z0aZ61r9sebro1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>- About Melkor, The Silmarillion, Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath</strong></p> </blockquote>http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/36517355486http://middleearthquotations.tumblr.com/post/36517355486Sun, 25 Nov 2012 17:50:27 +0100MelkorMorgothTolkienJ.R.R.
