Merrill: I think he's broken the thing he [Anders] wanted to save.
"Moreover, there is great variety in the things which raise a laugh, since we laugh not merely at those words
or actions which are smart or witty, but also at those which reveal folly, anger or fear. Consequently, the cause
of laughter is uncertain, since laughter is never far removed from derision."
[Praeterea non una ratione moveri solet, neque enim acute tantum ac venuste sed stulte, iracunde,
timide dicta aut facta ridentur; ideoque anceps eius rei ratio est, quod a derisu non procul abest risus.]
Quintilian, Institutio Oratoria, Book 6, Chapter 3, Section 7.
