There is a vast cave in the hollowed mountain side / where countless waves are driven before the gale / and break among the deep recesses: of old a sure / anchorage for mariners caught by storm... (J.W. Mackail, 1950).
Within the side of a hollowed cliff there is / a spacious cave much visited by waves / driven before the wind that split themselves / into receding coves, at times affording / a perfect haven for sailors caught in storms... (L.P. Wilkinson, 1982).
There is an enormous grotto that the waves / the wind has driven in have hollowed out / in the high sea-cliffs that stand along the shore, / sailor's safe haven sometimes when a storm / has suddenly surprised them out at sea... (D. Ferry, 2005).
