I dunno, don't you think it seems strange only to see one Eye, and not a pair, if it is indeed Sauron's actual eye?

If anything, it's a cool literary device, no? Made me think of an enormous cyclops the first time I read the book. *shiver*
Also, it makes you think of the common expression - "a third eye," the ability to see beyond physical things, telepathy, power, etc. When Pushkin, for example, refers to a kind of Slavic fairy princess as having a "star blazing on her forehead," he's actually symbolizing her third eye, her power and wisdom.
Anyway, that's what I was thinking about as I was being wowed by creep-tastic Sauron.
