The album title is allegedly inspired by the English translation of the New Testament, it says here in the first Epistle to the Corinthians in chapter 13:12: "For now we see through a glass, darkly " ( " For now we see through a mirror in a dark word "). More likely is the assumption that the album title on the film Through a Glass Darkly: refers (English title Through a Glass Darkly ) by Swedish director Ingmar Bergman in the year 1961.
