Feb 12 is Darwin Day, a celebration to commemorate the birthday of Charles Darwin on Feb 12, 1809.
But again, I have no interest in celebrating anyone's birthday.
Instead, today I celebrate the deathday of Kant.
Feb 12, 1804
Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, died at age 79.
“有两样东西，愈是经常和持久地思考它们，对它们日久弥新和不断增长之魅力以及崇敬之情就愈加充实着心灵:我头顶的星空，和我心中的道德律。" —康德
Today also marks the death day of another writer I like - Shiba Ryotaro （司马辽太郎，本名：福田定一，因崇拜司马迁，自起笔名，表示自己距司马迁的境界太远之意）。
Feb 12, 1996
Shiba Ryotaro, Japanese novelist, died at age 72.
如果你有兴趣读司马辽太郎的作品，推荐你直接读下面这本，是很多司马迷心中的最爱。

我本人最喜欢的是作者在杂志上先后发表的40篇随笔集《街道漫步》系列散文（日文《街道をゆく》）。
On this gloomy Saturday, I wish you happy reading.
