Through a Glass Darkly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Through A Glass Darkly is an abbreviated form of a much-quoted phrase from 1 Corinthians 13 in the Christian New Testament, "For now we see through a glass, darkly", meaning clarity on a situation is often obscured, like looking at something with a darkened mirror.
