the.com/ravine
a wound the earth carves into itself, one stubborn raindrop at a time.
means A deep, narrow gorge or valley with steep sides, typically carved out by running water.
from From French 'ravine,' meaning a rush of water or violent torrent, which descends from Latin 'rapina' — plunder, robbery, a violent seizing — the same root that gives us 'rapine' and 'ravenous.' The earth's torn channels were named, fittingly, for the rushing flood that robbed the ground of itself.
