Shakespeare, an ingenious syncretist like Sidney and Spenser, derived many of his ideas and expressions in The Sonnets from, to mention only a few sources, pagan literature mainly represented by Ovidian poetry, the Petrarchan tradition (as a combination of the Christian thought of humanity and the essentially pagan convention of courtly love) and Italian Neo-Platonism (an eclectic philosophy combining Christian theology and platonism). Although his down-to-earth attitude toward love often conflicted with the Petrarchan-Platonic concept of 'Heavenly Love', he never seems to have been anti-Platonic in its treatment, while he was not infrequently un-Platonic, and more obviously anti-Petrarchan, especially in the sonnets belonging to the Mistress series. He was provided with (at least) three decisively important bases for his love concept by the then prevalent Neo-Platonism: 1. The Poet's love for the Friend is placed far above his love for the Mistress, for the former is apparently regarded as 'ascending', while the latter is 'descending'. 2. The Poet's love for the Friend is distinctly free from both Sidneyan 'sexual desire' and Petrarchan sentimentality, and thus given such a supreme spiritual value that concerns the whole integrity of human nature. 3. As the Poet's love is more firmly integrated into his own personality after years of heart-rending experiences on both of their parts, he gradually realizes that the Friend's beauty, as well as his love for him, has been elevated from the earthly level to the height of immortality. The second and third stag,es mentioned above are particularly relevant to his love dramas, in which love alone can eventually bring all chaotic disorders into harmony and the human world to happiness.
