Hermione and Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers
1916
Published in 1916, 'Hermione and Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers' by Don Marquis is a satirical examination of early 20th-century intellectual pretensions. The narrative follows Hermione, a self-proclaimed serious thinker, and her eclectic group of friends as they engage in whimsical discussions that juxtapose profound philosophical inquiries with trivial matters. Through their absurd dialogues, Marquis critiques the superficiality of contemporary artistic and intellectual movements, revealing both humor and pathos in Hermione's quest for sincerity in a chaotic world.

“Nearly every night before I go to bed I ask myself, "Have I vibrated in tune with the Infinite today, or have I failed?””
— Don Marquis
“Vibrations are the key to everything. Atoms used to be, but atoms have quite gone out.””
— Don Marquis
“The wand waved; the Adam's Apple leapt, and they were off. What followed cannot be indicated typographically. But if a cat were a sawmill, and a dog were a gigantic cart full of tin cans bouncing through a stone paved street, and that dog and that cat hated each other and were telling each other so, it would sound much like it.””
— Don Marquis
