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.

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart.

In 2077 this day opens on Herman Melville.

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