Moon, Stars and Sharing the Sky of Nationhood, Or a "Bluer, Fresher Cuba," in Christina Garcia's the Aguero Sisters‪.‬

Long ago the sun married the moon, and they had many children. Their daughters were stars and stayed close to their mother's side. But their sons followed their father across the morning sky. Soon the father became cross and ordered his children home. The sons, small suns themselves, fell into the ocean and drowned. That is why the sun burns alone but the moon shares the sky. ("A story of the gods," The Aguero Sisters, 258)
