Moon-struck
In the 121st Psalm it is written of those who put their trust in God’s protection, “The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.” The allusion to the moon is explained by the common belief in the East that exposure to the moon’s rays while sleeping is injurious. Travelers in oriental countries have noticed that when the natives slept out of doors they invariably, if the moon was shining, covered their faces.
