1 one's bowels yearned
он (она и т. д.) томился, томилась желанием [этим. библ. Genesis XLIII, 30; 1 Kings III, 26]Strange that Katha could be a mother, strange, strange that for the first time in his life his bowels yearned at the thought that of their love they might make a living body, which would be themselves and not-themselves... (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part IV, ch. IX) — Странно, что Ката может стать матерью, странно, так странно, что в первый раз в его жизни вся плоть его томится при мысли о том, что они из своей любви могут произвести на свет живую плоть, существо, которое будет ими и не ими.
