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.

The past is never dead. It’s not even past.
William FaulknerRequiem for a Nun · 1951

In 1984 this day opens on Albert Camus.

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