Shakespeare delineated in Romeo and Juliet a new type of love which surpasses a traditional dichotomy of love: the one, legitimate, sacramental, natural, and in harmony with cosmic law; the other, illegitimate, perverted, selfish, and sinful.
Love not that Love that is a child and blynde, But that Heroicke honorable Love, Which first the fightinge Elements combinde, And taught the world in harmony to move
Sir John Davies, Epithalamion for the Marriage of Lady Elizabeth Vere and William Stanley, Earl of Derby ('Love not that Love that is a child and blynde')
