Now we see through the glass darkly.

The meaning of this sentence is “当局者迷，旁观者清”. My question is how to analyze the word “darkly” in this sentence. I can't get it

Thank Moderator 磁铁！Thanks for the clear interpretation!

Here "darkly" maybe means "in a threatening, mysterious, or slightly ominous way".
or
means "blindly; uncertainly".
