By night
our ship ran onward toward the Ocean's bourne,
the realm and region of the Men of Winter,
hidden in mist and cloud. Never the flaming
eye of Helios lights on those men
at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars,
nor in descending earthward out of heaven;
ruinous night being rove over those wretches.

The best paraphrase of the passage is: It’s always dark where the Men of Winter live.
This is because the passage describes a realm that is hidden in mist and cloud, and mentions that Helios (the sun) never shines on them, indicating a constant state of darkness.
