2. The object gazed on.

Made of my enemies the scorn and gaze.

Milton.

At gaze (a) (Her.) With the face turned directly to the front; -- said

of the figures of the stag, hart, buck, or hind, when borne, in this

position, upon an escutcheon. (b) In a position expressing sudden fear

or surprise; -- a term used in stag hunting to describe the manner of a

stag when he first hears the hounds and gazes round in apprehension of

some hidden danger; hence, standing agape; idly or stupidly gazing.

I that rather held it better men should perish one by one, Than

that earth should stand at gaze like Joshua's moon in Ajalon!

Tennyson.
