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.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
John F. KennedyAddress at Rice University · 1962

In 2007 this day opens on T. S. Eliot.

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