As for what Tom actually is, in Letter 19 (p.26) Tom is "the spirit of the (vanishing) Oxford and Berkshire countryside".

But if you have, as it were taken 'a vow of poverty', renounced control, and take your delight in things for themselves without reference to yourself, watching, observing, and to some extent knowing, then the question of the rights and wrongs of power and control might become utterly meaningless to you, and the means of power quite valueless.

Thank you.
