aaahh someone finally brought up the gollum reference which, to me, seems to clear it up..

I always imagined that after the wreck of Numenor, Sauron at best could only assume a physical form that was totally evil and un-beautifull. After the destrustion of the ring i feel that any physical embodiment would come across as "wraith like", physical yes - but a non factor (unless your poor old gollum strapped up to a torture device). The eye was by that time his only "tool" in the physical world. Metaphysically though, he was still the most powerfull (yet evil) shizznit in ME.
