I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'terrible scene woven' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'on goddam weaving device' is the wordplay.
'weaving' indicates anagramming the letters (letters weaved together differently).
'device' becomes 'loom' (loom is a kind of device).
'on'+'goddam'='ongoddam'
'ongoddam' is an anagram of 'doomandg'.
'doomandg'+'loom'='DOOM AND GLOOM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doom and gloom that I've seen before include "Miserable prospect (often spread)" , "State of general depression" , "Bleak outlook" , "Pessimists' prognostication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
