OP Here's a passage from a McCullers' novel in which the use of the verb 'to wall' confounds me:
[Describing a flying-jinny or merry-go-round horse]"The horse nearest Jake had a splintery wooden crack in its dingy rump and the eyes walled blind and frantic, shreds of paint peeled from the sockets" (McCullers Chap. 4).
