his liver
Liver, the internal organ of the body, considered in ancient times to be the seat of emotions, particularly of heaviness, grief, or inner affections. In anatomical contexts, refers specifically to the physical organ; in poetic or symbolic usage, may indicate the inner self or emotional state, analogous to the modern concept of 'heart' as the locus of feelings.
