> fruit of my spleen

Google returns zero results for this phrase (when quoted). Congratulations.

I like it.



To vent one's spleen means to express angry feelings, from Hippocrates' theories about the "humors".


That's Strugatsky brothers:

> когда носорог глядит на Луну, он напрасно тратит цветы своей селезенки

When a Rhino looks up the moon, he just wastes the flowers of his spleen
