Cave

A cave or cavern is a natural underground space large enough for a human to enter. Caves form naturally by the weathering of rock and they often extend deep underground. The word "cave" can also refer to much smaller openings such as sea caves, rock shelters, and grottos.

Famous quotes containing the word cave:

    Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    I was thewed like an Auroch bull,
    And tusked like the great Cave Bear;
    And you, my sweet, from head to feet,
    Were gowned in your glorious hair.
    Langdon Smith (1858–1908)

    Stands the Spring! heralded by its bright-clothed
    Trumpeters, of bough and bush and branch;
    Pale Winter draws away his white hands, loathed,
    And creeps, a leper, to the cave of time.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
