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.

Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
James BaldwinThe Fire Next Time · 1963

In 1990 this day opens on Henry David Thoreau.

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