Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how lunático appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Esto parece en los lunáticos y furiosos que tienen lúcida intervala, los cuales, como la luna sea madre de la humidad, cuando ella crece y causa abundante humidad juzgan bien como si no tuviesen mal; pero cuando la luna mengua, que no influye a abundante humidad, desécaseles el órgano phantástico y comienzan recio a desvariar.
Servirte ha también esto mismo para que no seas del todo lunático y mudable, como algunos que tienen el corazón como veleta de tejado, que cada viento la menea.
