From the shelf

Nothing in the canon is tethered to February 29. One line is set aside for this year, the same line for every reader.

February 29 stays in the book in common years. The lived calendar skips it. This page does not.

There are tears for things, and mortal matters touch the mind.
VirgilThe Aeneid · Book I · 19 BCE

In 1924 this day opens on Rosa Parks.

Arrow keys turn the day. S keeps the line. Slash focuses search.
