Lunar Lore

Doth the moon shine that night we play our play? A calendar, a calendar! Look in the almanac; find out moonshine, find out moonshine. – Shakespeare, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” III, i .

The Romans believed that the mind was affected by the moon, and that “lunatics” were more and more frenzied as the moon increased to its full. ~Brewer, “Dictionary of Phrase & Fable”.
