"‘Humour', he said, ‘is ____ chaos remembered in tranquility'” (James Thurber) (9)

I believe the answer is:

emotional

(Other definitions for emotional that I've seen before include "Poignant" , "Showing feelings like love or fear" , "Moved" , "Heart-warming" , "Arousing strong feelings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
