About This Quote
"Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, and men below, and the saints above" is a reflection on the nature of love as a force that transcends all hierarchies. In this quote, Shakespeare is referring to a higher power that holds sway over all things. It rules over those who are below it as well as those who are above it. Love is a force that transcends all hierarchies as the world as we know it is made up of those who are below and those who are above. No matter how high or low you are placed in the world, if you were to look at the world through the lens of love you would see that there is no hierarchy.
