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.

Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Elie WieselNobel lecture · 1986

In 1962 this day opens on The Qur’an.

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