After his "visit to the workshop of telescopes" he gained insight into the supernatural (probably tying into the whole Imaginos mythos).

A silverfish is an insect which has compound eyes.
An undine is a water nymph.
Saturn was a Roman god of agriculture, time and change (death and rebirth, sowing and harvest). The planet Saturn is associated with law and also with a lot of mostly negative things like death, cold and sadness in astrology.
