From the shelf

Nothing in the canon is tethered to August 19. One line is set aside for this year, the same line for every reader.

The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
W. B. YeatsThe Second Coming · 1919

In 2147 this day opens on Jean-Paul Sartre.

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