LIBROS Hasta en una Web..... (17 de Marzo de 2002, a las 19:12)
...dicen lo mismo jeje,mira:
Q: Dear Green Books Staff; I've read Lord of the Rings several times, and to me one of the most mysterious and interesting characters is that of the Dark Lord, Sauron. Throughout the story, numerous references are made to The Eye of Sauron. While at times this seems to be only a metaphor for his sleepless vigilance and that of his spies, there are instances in which it seems more literal. I certainly don't picture him as some sort of dark cyclops, but several occurrences seem to suggest that he is capable of seeing across large distances through some sort of psychic ability. When Frodo is sitting upon the Hill of the Eye, he narrowly misses the gaze of the dark tower, and later while climbing Mount Doom, he can see a red beam of light coming from the topmost tower of Barad-dur, supposedly watching the events transpiring before the gates of Mordor. Does Sauron, as a Maia, have the natural ability to see things a long way off, or (the more likely explanation to my mind) is there a Palantir in the Dark Tower?
-Zach Krupp
A: In a letter to Mrs. Eileen Elgar (Letters #246) Sauron's physical appearance is described "Sauron should be thought of as very terrible. The form that he took was that of a man of more than human stature, but not gigantic." A picture of him is in one of Tolkien's jacket designs shown in "Artist and Illustrator."
And of course there is a Palantír in Barad-dûr (the Ithil stone)-that is the whole point of the Palantíri in the story!
Saludos.
