This is a self-contained, web-based implementation of an ‘Author Clock’. It displays a quote from a work of literature for every minute of the day.
The page automatically updates each minute, fading in a new passage that mentions the current time. With a classic serif font (‘Tinos’) and a paper-like background, it’s designed to evoke the feeling of reading a physical book.
All quotes are embedded directly within the single HTML file in a simple, editable format, making it easy for users to add their own favorite literary moments. The entire clock runs locally in your browser with no external dependencies other than the required font files.

这是一个独立运行的网页版「作家时钟」(Author Clock)。
它的核心功能是为一天中的每一分钟，从文学作品中找出一句提及该时间的引文并将其显示出来。页面会每分钟自动更新，用淡入淡出的动画效果展示与当前时间匹配的新段落。
项目采用了经典的衬线字体（Tinos）和纸张质感的背景色，旨在营造出阅读实体书的沉静氛围。所有的引文数据都以内嵌的形式直接存储在 HTML 文件中，方便用户轻松添加自己喜欢的文学片段。整个时钟完全在浏览器本地运行，除了字体文件外，没有任何外部依赖。
