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.

I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W. B. YeatsHe Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven · 1899

In 2000 this day opens on Sappho.

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