Suppose a romantic falls in love with a girl of a higher social station, and that is the difference in class prevents their marriage or, perhaps, even love on her side, for social conventions go deep into the soul, as informers often ignore. The romantic will say: «I cannot have the girl I love because of social conventions; therefore social conventions are bad». The realist, or classicist, would have said: «fate has been unkind to me in making me fall in love with a girl I cannot have», or «I have been imprudent in cultivating an impossible love». His love would not be less; his reason would be more. It would never occur to a realist to attack social conventions on the score that they produce such results for him, or individual troubles of any kind. He knows that laws are good or bad generally, that no law can fit in particular cases. But he does not conclude that there should be no law; he concludes only that the people involved in those particular cases have been unlucky.
