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.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time.
William ShakespeareMacbeth · Act V, Scene V · c. 1606

In 1977 this day opens on Karl Marx.

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