a mountain that screams in fire when the planet forgets to swallow its rage
means a mountain or vent in the Earth's crust through which molten rock, ash, and gases erupt from below the surface
from From Italian 'vulcano,' from Latin 'Vulcanus' — Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and the forge. Romans imagined his smoky workshop burning beneath Mount Etna and the fiery island of Vulcano in the Mediterranean, so when the ground roared, it was the blacksmith god hammering at his anvil below. The island lent its name to all such mountains, and the god's name still smolders inside the word.
