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.

Listen to the reed, how it tells a tale, complaining of separations.
Jalal al-Din RumiMasnavi · the opening · begun c. 1262

In 1982 this day opens on Leonardo da Vinci.

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