Sphingosine is an unsaturated amino alcohol (C₁₈H₃₇O₂N) found typically in nervous tissue, discovered in 1874 by one of the founding fathers of neuroscience and neurochemistry, German physician and scientist Dr. Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Thudichum (August 27, 1829 – September 7, 1901).  Sphingosine proved so difficult to isolate and understand that when he finally understood what he was observing in the over 1000 human and animal brains he dissected and studied that he named it after the Sphinx of Ancient Egypt.  A prolific writer and scientist, Dr. Thudichum wrote over 80 works, ranging from books on brain chemistry, a treatise on the pathology of urine, as well as a book on viticulture and wine.  He so struggled with the riddle of sphingosine (and sphingomyelin, also identified and named by him) that he named it after the most famous riddler of all.  Where did the X go?  In Latin, the base or root of a noun or adjective is taken from the genitive singular, in this case Sphingos.  The suffix -sine is from the Latin -inus, meaning like or resembling.

It’s time to awaken from these illusions,
You delude yourself with a fake mirroir,
My voice can cut this glass of your head,
I can break the ground barrier of shed.

You aren’t sleeping but you aren’t living,
Laying down on your couch all day long,
You aren’t bored but you aren’t smiling,
I can turn you upside down with a song.

You do know me, my name is Desire,
I live in the deep waters of your body,
I emerge when Sloth reigns higher,
Let me sound and clash in your house.
