From the shelf

Nothing in the canon is tethered to May 21. One line is set aside for this year, the same line for every reader.

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.
T. S. EliotThe Hollow Men · 1925

In 1843 this day opens on Jorge Luis Borges.

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