A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.

Summary

This quote suggests that humor often arises from mocking or using clever wordplay to comment on the decline or loss of an emotion. It implies that jokes serve as a way to express and cope with the inevitable fading or end of certain feelings or sentiments. By making light of such experiences, laughter allows us to momentarily distance ourselves from emotional intensity and find amusement in the transient nature of our emotions.
