He opened his glazed eyes and asked, "Who run?" and the reply was, "The French!" With a supreme effort he turned to Burton, and ordered him, saying, "Command Webb to march down to the St. Charles and cut off the retreat at the bridge"; and then amid the crash and carnage of war, he murmured, "Now I thank God, and die contented," and instantly expired.
He did not look at her, but he smiled with the lower part of his face, putting his head aside in an odd gesture of assent. His eyes were unchanging, glazed with darkness.

Mr Verloc had done no more than put on his overcoat.
After the inner coating has been removed, some of the rice is treated with paraffin or glucose and talc to give it a glazed appearance.

Except for the glazed rotunda part its long walls, divided into narrow panels separated by an order of flat pilasters, presented, depicted on a black background and in vivid colours, slender women with butterfly wings and lean youths with narrow birds’ wings.
England! when will thy cup of bitterness be full? when shall this judgment pass from thee? My spirit groaneth over thy fall yea, my inmost soul is saddened with the spectacle of thy misery!"
