What are some other useful (or even useless) words for "lowest point"?
Maybe abyssal or abysmal, but I'm reminded by a post below of the opening lines of A Tale of Two Cities, my favorite of any book.
It was the best of times, it was worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch incredulity,
it was the season of Light, it was season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.
In short, the period was so far like the present period that some of its
noisiest authorities insisted on its being recieved, for good or for evil,
in the superlative degree of comparison only.
