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.

The unexamined life is not worth living.
SocratesPlato, Apology · 38a · 399 BCE

In 2139 this day opens on Herman Melville.

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