*Off Topic* to my fellow Cimmerians:
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cimmerian (si-MIR-ee-uhn) adjective

Very dark or gloomy.

noun

Greek Mythology. One of a mythical people described by Homer as
inhabiting a land of perpetual darkness.

[From Latin Cimmerii, the Cimmerians, from Greek Kimmerioi.]

"But much of (Charles Sanders) Peirce's writing is, as William James
despairingly said, 'flashes of light against Cimmerian darkness.'"
Rorty, Richard, Killing Time: The Autobiography of Paul Feyerabend. (book
reviews), The New Republic, 31 Jul 1995.
