Summary
This quote suggests that irony is a literary device or figure of speech that requires an understanding and appreciation of subtlety and contradiction. However, it implies that individuals lacking intelligence or the ability to grasp irony are incapable of fully comprehending or appreciating its intended meaning or humor. In other words, irony is only effective and impactful when it is understood by those who can perceive the underlying contradictions or incongruities in a situation or statement.
