There is an ancient fable of Æsop about the Dog and the Wolf which portrays this sentiment in a very quaint and delightful manner. There was a Hagged Carrion of a Wolf, and a Jolly Sort of a Gentile Dog, with Good Flesh upon's Back, that fell into Company together upon the King's High-Way.
E.D.D. gives this word as glincey and derives from French glincer as glisser, to slide or glide. Glinzy and glincey carry unavoidable suggestion of glint. Compare the words in No. 19. Glissery would be convincing. 'The green east hagged with prowling storm'. In O.E.D. #hagged# is given as monopolized by the sense of 'bewitched', or of 'lean and gaunt', related to haggard. This does not suit.
