'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.'
From Henry David Thoreau's journal, in an entry dated December 12, 1859. You can read more of the great one's journal entries on this blog, appropriately called The Blog of Henry David Thoreau. My thanks to WWW reader (and frequent commenter) Art Durkee for the link. To review earlier Thoreau mentions, go here, here and here.
