Antony and Cleopatra

Cleopatra has an incredible speech in which she describes Antony her lover that has just perished. In it she says this...

His legs bestrid the ocean; his reared arm
Crested the world; his voice was propertied
As all the tuned spheres, that to friends;
But when he meant to quail and shake the orb,
He was a rattling thunder. For his bounty,
There was no winter in't: an Antony it
That grew more by reaping. His delights
Were dolhpinlike, the showed his back above
The element they lived in. In his livery
Walked crowns and crownets; realms and islands were
As plates dropped from his pocket

Then Cleopatra asks, "Think you there was or might be such a man as I dreamt of?"

She saw Antony in a sin free, perfect greek god way. But did he truly exist as such? When you love someone you do not see their flaws as everyone else sees them. Shakespeare was brilliant at making his characters either hate each other such as Beatrice and Benedick or he has his characters love each other so passionately they would follow each other into death; Romeo and Juliet. I often wonder, a man of such passion and love, what became of his love life?  He did not pay much attention to Anne  and some even speculate of his affections for men. So where did he draw his misery, joy, rapture, ecstasy, and fervor come from? ....It would be too simple to say that all of these inspirations came from the pen and paper he wrote with...
