On one of the planets that orbits the star named Sirius there lived aspirited young man, who I had the honor of meeting on the last voyagehe made to our little ant hill. He was called Micromegas, afitting name for anyone so great. He was eight leagues tall, or24,000 geometric paces of five feet each. From micros, small, and from megas, large. B.

Conversation between the inhabitant of Sirius and that of Saturn.
After his excellency laid himself down to rest the secretaryapproached him. "You have to admit," said Micromegas, "that nature is extremelyvaried." "Yes," said the Saturnian, "nature is like a flower bed wherein theflowers—" "Ugh!" said the other, "leave off with flower beds." The secretary began again. "Nature is like an assembly of blonde andbrown-haired girls whose jewels—" "What am I supposed to do with your brown-haired girls?" said theother. "Then she is like a gallery of paintings whos...
Voyage of the two inhabitants of Sirius and Saturn.
Our two philosophers were just ready to take off into Saturn'satmosphere with a very nice provision of mathematical instrument whenthe ruler of Saturn, who had heard news of the departure, came intears to remonstrate. She was a pretty, petite brunette who was only660 fathoms tall, but who compensated for this small size with manyother charms. "Cruelty!" she cried, "after resisting you for 1,500 years, just whenI was beginning to come around, when I'd spent hardly a hundredyears in your arms,...
What happened on planet Earth.
After resting for some time they ate two mountains for lunch, whichtheir crew fixed up pretty nicely. Then they decided to get to knowthe small country they were in. They went first from north to south.The usual stride of the Sirian and his crew was around 30,000 feet.The dwarf from Saturn, who clocked in at no more than a thousandfathoms, trailed behind, breathing heavily. He had to make twelvesteps each time the other took a stride; imagine (if it is alright tomake such a comparison) a very...
Experiments and reasonings of the two voyagers.
Micromegas slowly reached his hand towards the place where the objecthad appeared, extended two fingers, and withdrew them for fear ofbeing mistaken, then opened and closed them, and skillfully seizedthe vessel that carried these fellows, putting it on his fingernailwithout pressing it too hard for fear of crushing it.

Micromegas, a much better observer than his dwarf, clearly saw thatthe atoms were speaking to each other, and pointed this out to hiscompanion, who, ashamed of being mistaken about them reproducing, didnot want to believe that such a species could communicate. He had thegift of language as well as the Sirian. He could not hear the atomstalk, and he supposed that they did not speak. Moreover, how couldthese impossibly small beings have vocal organs, and what would theyhave to say? To speak, on...
Conversation with the men.
"Oh intelligent atoms, in which the Eternal Being desired to makemanifest his skill and his power, you must, no doubt, taste pure joyson your planet; for having so little matter, and appearing to beentirely spirit, you must live out your life thinking and loving, theveritable life of the mind. Nowhere have I seen true bliss, but it ishere, without a doubt." At this all the philosophers shook their heads, and one of them, morefrank than the others, avowed that if one excepts a small number ofi...
