From the shelf

Nothing in the canon is tethered to April 12. One line is set aside for this year, the same line for every reader.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
F. Scott FitzgeraldThe Great Gatsby · the closing line · 1925

In 2004 this day opens on Geoffrey Chaucer.

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