bowels
...Thoreau's Journal: 12-Dec-1859
I am inclined to think of late that as much depends on the state of the bowels as of the stars. As are your bowels, so are the stars.

1 observations anyone?:
Some more stellar quotes from Henry:
"As the skies appear to a man, so is his mind. Some see only clouds there; some, prodigies and portents; some rarely look up at all; their heads, like the brutes', are directed toward Earth. Some behold there serenity, purity, beauty ineffable. The world runs to see the panorama, when there is a panorama in the sky which few go to see."
-- Journal, 17 January 1852 Entry
"The stars are the jewels of the night and perchance surpass anything which day has to show."
-- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
