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.

Endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
Charles DarwinOn the Origin of Species · the closing sentence · 1859

In 2080 this day opens on Émile Zola.

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