Where did the phrase head over heels in love originate? How did it become so popular and widespread?
I've always been curious. The phrase never made much sense to me, and when I was thinking about it. I became very curious to how and where this phrase originally came from and how it became so popular and widespread.
The following excerpts are from http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/head-over-heels.html
Herbert Lawrence's Contemplative Man, 1771 is the first known citation of 'head over heels':
"He gave [him] such a violent involuntary kick in the Face, as drove him Head over Heels."
The first mention of love comes in 1834, by which time the phrase had crossed the Atlantic, and into David Crockett's Narrative of the life of David Crockett:
"I soon found myself head over heels in love with this girl."
