Another English meaning?[edit]

Tennyson wrote:

Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed

What does "ravine" mean in this passage? Is it a synonym for rapine, perhaps? Lawrence King (talk) 07:17, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
