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.

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.
William BlakeThe Marriage of Heaven and Hell · c. 1790

In 2009 this day opens on Thucydides.

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