With the blood of his heart

With the blood of his heart

Figuratively: out of deep pain he felt.

("The blood of the spleen, the blood of the heart, the blood of eggs, the blood of fish, the blood of locusts, the essence blood—one is not liable for them"—Kritot 5a; and: "And the truth is, that the soul by which a person lives is in the blood of the heart"—Ibn Ezra, Leviticus 17:7; and: "The word was not finished, in the middle of writing the holy soul of the writer left in the blood of his heart, his final will. I stood petrified, my lips moving unconsciously: Master of the Universe, avenge the blood of Your spilled servants"—Responsa Piskei Uziel on Contemporary Questions, Siman 39; and: "We swear by fire and by water, by the hair of our heads and by the blood of our hearts, that we shall marry one another and be man and wife"—Agnon, Until Now, Oath of Fidelity, 193; and: "The hostel-keeper continued to tell with the blood of his heart"—H. Bar, To the Place the Wind Goes, 337)
