How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Screw. Up Courage

This Is one of the most modern
sounding popular expressions In our
common speech. Screw up youl
courage is a phrase used alike BY
masters Of English and those of lower
cultural or social order. And, during
the Great War, how must its authors
ears have burned, II where he is today
ones ears do burn, on the countless
occasions when the phrase served men
going over the top.
These words are not an invention OF
modern slang. They have their source
with that master of words, Shakespeare,
in his tragedy of Macbeth, where Lady
Macbeth says, in desperation:
I'VE fail,
But screw your courage to the stick
ing place,
And we'll not fail"
