| Summary | "The Romance of the Moon" by J. A. Mitchell is a whimsical story written in the late 19th century. This charming tale exemplifies a poetic form of literary fiction that intertwines celestial beings with themes of love and rivalry among planetary entities. The story explores the romantic dynamics of the Moon and her interactions with Earth's celestial neighbors, delving into the emotional lives of these cosmic characters. In this imaginative narrative, the Moon is depicted as a thoughtful figure, caught in a romantic triangle with the Earth and the Sun. The plot unfolds over a cosmic conflict, primarily driven by the jealous Saturn, who has long adored the Moon. However, when the Earth approaches the Moon with affection, a fierce battle erupts in space, resulting in the Sun's interference. Ultimately, the Moon chooses the Earth as her companion, but their love is doomed to secrecy, as she can only meet him in the night when the Sun is absent. The story weaves together themes of love, jealousy, and cosmic relationships in a playful and engaging manner, inviting readers to ponder the romantic possibilities within the universe.
