- A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. [1913 Webster]" In adult mammals and birds, the heart is four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being completely separated from the left auricle and ventricle; and the blood flows from the systemic veins to the right auricle, thence to the right ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left ventricle, from which it is driven into the systemic arteries. See Illust. under
Aorta . In fishes there are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles also are separated more or less completely. The so-called lymph hearts, found in many amphibians, reptiles, and birds, are contractile sacs, which pump the lymph into the veins." [1913 Webster]"Why does my blood thus muster to my heart!" [1913 Webster] - The seat of the affections or sensibilities, collectively or separately, as love, hate, joy, grief, courage, and the like; rarely, the seat of the understanding or will; -- usually in a good sense, when no epithet is expressed; the better or lovelier part of our nature; the spring of all our actions and purposes; the seat of moral life and character; the moral affections and character itself; the individual disposition and character; as, a good, tender, loving, bad, hard, or selfish heart. [1913 Webster]"Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain." [1913 Webster]
- The nearest the middle or center; the part most hidden and within; the inmost or most essential part of any body or system; the source of life and motion in any organization; the chief or vital portion; the center of activity, or of energetic or efficient action; as, the heart of a country, of a tree, etc. [1913 Webster]"Exploits done in the heart of France." [1913 Webster]"Peace subsisting at the heart
Of endless agitation." [1913 Webster] - Courage; courageous purpose; spirit. [1913 Webster]"Eve, recovering heart, replied." [1913 Webster]"The expelled nations take heart, and when they fly from one country invade another." [1913 Webster]
- Vigorous and efficient activity; power of fertile production; condition of the soil, whether good or bad. [1913 Webster]"That the spent earth may gather heart again." [1913 Webster]
- That which resembles a heart in shape; especially, a roundish or oval figure or object having an obtuse point at one end, and at the other a corresponding indentation, -- used as a symbol or representative of the heart. [1913 Webster]
- One of the suits of playing cards, distinguished by the figure or figures of a heart; as, hearts are trumps. [1913 Webster]
- Vital part; secret meaning; real intention. [1913 Webster]"And then show you the heart of my message." [1913 Webster]

DEVIL DICTIONARY
Heart
n. An automatic, muscular blood-pump. Figuratively, this useful organ is said to be the esat of emotions and sentiments -- a very pretty fancy which, however, is nothing but a survival of a once universal belief. It is now known that the sentiments and emotions reside in the stomach, being evolved from food by chemical action of the gastric fluid. The exact process by which a beefsteak becomes a feeling -- tender or not, according to the age of the animal from which it was cut; the successive stages of elaboration through which a caviar sandwich is transmuted to a quaint fancy and reappears as a pungent epigram; the marvelous functional methods of converting a hard-boiled egg into religious contrition, or a cream-puff into a sigh of sensibility -- these things have been patiently ascertained by M. Pasteur, and by him expounded with convincing lucidity. (See, also, my monograph, _The Essential Identity of the Spiritual Affections and Certain Intestinal Gases Freed in Digestion_ -- 4to, 687 pp.) In a scientific work entitled, I believe, _Delectatio Demonorum_ (John Camden Hotton, London, 1873) this view of the sentiments receives a striking illustration; and for further light consult Professor Dam's famous treatise on _Love as a Product of Alimentary Maceration_.THESAURUS
