As through a glass darkly
From Gnomon Chronicles
Now we see as through a glass darkly.
I do, anyway. But it's okay.
The "glass darkly" simile reminds me of "maya", the Buddhist concept of the deceitful illusion through which we perceive the world — a philosophy I've been comfortable with for fifty years now.
