TOM BOMBADIL stood before the Valar — Seraphim, Cherubim, Ophanim — and they bowed first
TOM BOMBADIL, always smiling or laughing, glittering eyes, a song or a poem from his mouth, his face covered with a big BROWN beard, wearing a battered hat, dressed with a BLUE coat and his feets in large YELLOW boots.
TOM BOMBADIL is the cheerful, dynamic manifestation in Time, in visible STEM Space-Time-Energy-Matter of THE FIRST THOUGHT (Barbelò/Protennoia) that Eru Iluvatar — The Monad, the One, Pure Infinite Awareness — had before Eä, before Space-Time-Energy-Matter, EVEN BEFORE The Flame Imperishable was kindled.
