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.

Winston ChurchillSpeech to the House of Commons · 1940

In 2042 this day opens on Oscar Wilde.

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