"See through, darkly" is an allusion to St Paul's musings on humanity's inability to see the world and heaven as they really are, because of our limited nature. 1 Corinthians 13:12 - "For now we see through a glass, darkly."
Dale, the "we" changes to "my" after the "Blind Faith" in anything beyond that glass disappears and all "assumptions have imploded". That change was supposed to be symbolic, but is obviously confusing - I'll find a way of making it more obvious, or scrap it.
John, the person who has "won" and "lost" is "That prosecutor, that interrogator", symbolic of my Cartesian doubt, but I'll edit that to make it clearer too. Benevolent Light is playing on religious ideas, maybe God, maybe simply the existence of anything beyond the glass.
Thanks for your feedback guys, always appreciated. I agree that it must be very sterile for anybody not in the thralls of existential angst, and probably quite sterile even for those who are.
