More English Fairy Tales, LXVI. the Buried Moon, sentence 7

The conception of the moon as a beneficent being, the natural enemy of the bogles and other dwellers of the dark, is natural enough, but scarcely occurs, so far as I recollect, in other mythological systems.

Who acts: conception, I · What happens: be, occur, recollect, conceive · To what, where: beneficent natural enemy, other mythological systems, moon
