Love was a conceit made petty by the sonnet writer stuck in revolution around one archetypal subject. The writer's world was that subject and the world was there to profess the supremacy of her beauty. According to Klein, this takes the subject into the realm of imagination. Shakespeare grounds his subject in reality using the following lines of Sonnet 59:O, that record could with a backward look,<br>Even of five hundred courses of the Sun,<br>Show me your image in some antique book,<br>Since mind at first in character was done!<br>That I might see what the old world could say<br>To this composed wonder of your frame. Shakespeare uses his own education about the past to coolly reason his subject's beauty out of emotional speculation. In essence he has researched the beauty of antiquity and found:O, sure I am, the wits of former days<br>To subjects worse have given admiring praise.
