<< Orange marmalade is common in the USA, I usually buy "Smucker's", which is probably the biggest brand of jams, preserves, and jellies. But, I'm under the impression that in the UK, there are other common types of marmalade - Lime? Lemon? Other? >>

There's Peach Marmalade in the USA. I think it's available in more stores than just that little place in Tribeca that I used to go when Tribeca was still an 'industrial' rather than fashionable area. That little place also had Apricot Marmalade. I was under the impression that any orange colored fruit can be made into marmalade. Kumquat Marmalade. Maybe Mango Marmalade?

Maybe "Plutonian" is capitalized only because of being named after Pluto, and maybe he meant 'plutonian shore', whose synonyms would not be capitalized, like hellish (as you said) or profoundly dark or secret...


Maybe by "Night", he means the Greek goddess Nyx (I am told that her name means "Night" in Greek) who was said (IIRC by Hesiod) to have been the first being when she arose spontaneously from primordial chaos. She gave birth without a partner to Eros, who set all that chaos into order by causing attraction of like to like, so that all the earth gathered together at the bottom, all the water gathered together in an ocean around the earth, all the fire gathered together at the top as the sky, and all the air gathered together in between the earth and the sky.

If we allow that Eros is the forces of attraction and repulsion, not just attraction, and that the elements are photons, electrons, quarks, gluons rather than fire, air, water, earth, then the the above story is, by current knowledge, true: the attractive force of gravity and the attractive/repulsive forces of electromagnetism and the weak force (one entity called "electroweak") and the strong force set all those elements in order.
